Christ, from Christ and the Apostles 1530 - 1576

This engraving, "Christ," by Lambert Suavius, is a detailed depiction of Jesus Christ. Created between 1530 and 1576, the artwork showcases Christ standing with his right hand raised in a gesture of blessing. He wears a flowing robe and holds a closed book, likely representing the Bible. The intricate details of the engraving, particularly in Christ's facial features and drapery, highlight the meticulous craftsmanship of Suavius, a German artist who was a master of the Renaissance style. This piece, now residing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a classic portrayal of a central figure in Christian faith.
