Christ on the Cross, from the series "Piccoli Santi" (Small Saints) 1495 - 1505

Marcantonio Raimondi's "Christ on the Cross" from the "Piccoli Santi" series (1495-1505) is a striking example of the Italian Renaissance engraving style. The print, which depicts Christ's crucifixion, showcases the artist's masterful use of line and detail to capture the solemnity of the subject. The figure of Christ is rendered with anatomical precision, showcasing the suffering of the body, while the inscription "INRI" above the cross emphasizes the religious context. The inclusion of a rocky landscape at the base of the cross adds a sense of realism and depth to the scene.
