Marcantonio Raimondi's 16th-century engraving, *Christ in Limbo*, depicts the moment Christ descended to hell to liberate the souls trapped there. This detailed print follows a design by Albrecht Dürer, showing Christ triumphantly breaking the chains of hell as Adam, Eve, and other biblical figures look on in awe. Raimondi's meticulous technique, a hallmark of Renaissance printmaking, creates a dramatic and dynamic scene that showcases the power of Christ's resurrection. *Christ in Limbo* is a powerful testament to the enduring themes of salvation and redemption in Christian theology.
