Reproductie van het derde deel van de prentreeks De Triomf van Christus naar Joos Lambrecht 1857 - 1875

This is a reproduction of the third part of the print series ‘The Triumph of Christ’ after Joos Lambrecht, made by Simonau & Toovey using an engraving technique. The image depicts Christ surrounded by figures, some carrying religious symbols. This print likely originates from a period of religious and social upheaval. To understand its meaning fully, we must explore the cultural references it invokes. The figures surrounding Christ, their garments, and the symbols they carry provide clues about the religious and political climate in which the original was made. Prints such as this one served as visual aids, reinforcing religious doctrines. Religious institutions were major patrons, commissioning artworks that supported their views and liturgical practices. Historians use a range of resources, including religious texts, social commentaries, and institutional records, to better understand art. What beliefs and social structures are embedded in its visual language? The meaning of art is profoundly shaped by its institutional and social context.
