This engraving, "Christ's Entry into Jerusalem" by Francesco Denanto, depicts the biblical scene of Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey. The scene unfolds within an arched doorway, with a distant cityscape visible in the background. The people of Jerusalem welcome Jesus with palm branches as a symbol of peace and victory. The composition, common in Renaissance art, emphasizes the moment of Christ's triumphant arrival. Denanto, known for his detailed engravings, uses linear hatching to depict the scene, highlighting the dramatic gesture of Jesus, the crowd’s excitement, and the intricate details of the garments and the architecture. The print captures the solemnity and anticipation surrounding this significant event in Christian history.
