Bewening van Christus 1828

"Bewening van Christus" (1828) by Johann Nepomuk Strixner (1782-1855) depicts the lamentation of Christ. The artwork portrays a poignant scene of mourning, featuring figures of Christ's followers gathered around his lifeless body. The somber composition is further emphasized by the distant view of Calvary, where Christ was crucified. This print, measuring 528 mm in height and 387 mm in width, embodies the traditional theme of religious devotion and the profound impact of Christ's sacrifice. The detailed rendering of the figures and the dramatic landscape contribute to the artwork's emotional impact.
