Christus als Salvator Mundi c. 1596 - 1652

"Christus als Salvator Mundi" is an engraving by Zacharias Dolendo, created between 1596 and 1652. It depicts Christ in a circular frame, holding a cross and a globe, with rays of light emanating from his head. The inscription, "Ego sum Via Veritas et Vita" translates to "I am the way, the truth, and the life," emphasizing Christ's role as savior. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the detailed style of Northern Renaissance engravings, showcasing Dolendo's mastery of light and shadow. The artwork is a testament to the enduring power of religious imagery in art.
