EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an iconic masterpiece from the Novgorod School, a 16th-century Russian artwork titled "Icon depicting the Crucifixion with the Virgin, Mary Magdalene, St. John and the Centurion Longinus". Measuring 71x57 cm, this tempera on panel painting is housed in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The image depicts Christ's crucifixion scene with profound emotion and religious symbolism. The central figure of Jesus Christ hangs on the cross at Calvary or Golgotha while surrounded by significant individuals. The Virgin Mary stands beside him, her sorrowful gaze reflecting her deep maternal love for her son. On the other side stands Saint John, known as "the beloved disciple" who looks upon Jesus with utmost devotion. Another prominent figure portrayed here is Mary Magdalene, a devoted follower of Christ who witnessed his crucifixion and later became one of his most loyal disciples. Lastly, we see Centurion Longinus—a Roman soldier—gazing up at Jesus in awe and realization of his divinity after piercing his side with a spear. Executed in Byzantine style, this exquisite artwork captures both spiritual intensity and artistic finesse. Its intricate details and vibrant colors evoke a sense of reverence among viewers as they contemplate the sacrifice made by Jesus for humanity's salvation. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its timeless beauty that continues to inspire generations worldwide.
