Christus aan het kruis 1645 - 1668

Adriaen Millaert's "Christus aan het kruis" is a striking etching from 1645-1668 depicting the crucifixion of Christ. The print features a detailed and naturalistic representation of Christ's body on the cross, emphasizing the physical suffering of the event. The inscription "INRI" above Christ's head refers to the Latin phrase "Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum" (Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews). This work exemplifies Millaert's skill as a printmaker, showcasing his ability to render detailed anatomical and emotional expressions within the constraints of the etching technique.
