"Aureum opus de veritate contritionis" (Golden Work of the Truth of Contrition), a 1503 woodcut by Johannes Ludovicus Vivaldus, depicts a figure kneeling in prayer before a cave, surrounded by symbolic imagery. The artist, active from 1440-1540, was known for his detailed engravings, and this work showcases his mastery of the technique. The scene is framed by a decorative border filled with intricate details, reflecting the artistic trends of the early Renaissance. This woodcut is a powerful visual meditation on repentance and faith, held within the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
