Christus als Salvator Mundi 1583

This engraving, "Christus als Salvator Mundi" by Agostino Carracci, depicts a solemn and powerful Christ figure. Created in 1583, the artwork showcases Christ holding a globe, symbolizing his dominion over the world, and a cross-topped staff, representing his sacrifice. Carracci's masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and realism, contributing to the work's religious and devotional power. The image emphasizes Christ's divinity and his role as the savior of mankind. The etching is a notable example of Carracci's skill in translating the Renaissance ideal of human form into the medium of printmaking.
