This woodcut print, "Section H: Saint Christopher carrying the Christ Child, from 'The Triumph of Christ'," was created by Andrea Andreani in 1836. It depicts the popular Christian story of Saint Christopher carrying the Christ child on his shoulders, with the saint being guided by a group of figures. Andreani, known for his intricate engravings, captures the scene with great detail, showcasing the saint's powerful musculature and the solemn expressions of the onlookers. The image is a fine example of the artist's mastery of the technique and his ability to imbue religious subjects with dramatic realism. The print is part of the larger series "The Triumph of Christ," which was influential in the development of religious imagery during the 16th and 17th centuries.
