Christus als Salvator Mundi 1517 - 1527

"Christus als Salvator Mundi" is a 16th-century engraving by Marco Dente, depicting Jesus Christ as the Savior of the World. This artwork, now located in the Rijksmuseum, portrays Jesus with a halo and holding a staff with a banner, his right hand raised in a gesture of blessing. The detailed rendering of the figures and the dynamic composition are characteristic of the Renaissance style of engraving. The artist's keen attention to detail in the facial features and drapery enhances the devotional quality of the piece, making it a powerful symbol of faith.
