Christus 1646 - 1700

"Christus" is an engraving by Antoine Masson, a French artist known for his religious works. Created between 1646 and 1700, the piece depicts Jesus Christ standing in a landscape, his hand raised in a gesture of blessing. The engraving's detailed depiction of Christ's figure, with his flowing robes and halo, reflects the Baroque style's emphasis on drama and emotion. The composition, with Christ positioned centrally against a backdrop of mountains and trees, emphasizes his spiritual authority. The artwork was likely created for a devotional purpose, reflecting the strong religious beliefs of the era.
