Christ as Salvator Mundi with Lamb n.d.

This drawing, “Christ as Salvator Mundi with Lamb”, by Jacopo Pontormo depicts Christ as the “Savior of the World”, an iconic representation in Renaissance art. Pontormo’s drawing highlights Christ's calm and serene expression, emphasized by his outstretched hand and the graceful drapery of his garments, a detail that speaks to the artist’s mastery of the human form. The use of red chalk adds a warmth and depth to the figure, creating a sense of both divinity and humanity. This work is currently part of the The Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
