Lucas van Leyden's "Ecclesia Christi (Faith)" is a powerful woodcut print depicting a woman, likely representing the Church, holding a cross with a crucified Christ figure and a book adorned with four evangelist symbols. This artwork, created between 1525 and 1535, is part of a series of Sibyls and is considered a prime example of Northern Renaissance art. The dramatic lines, meticulous detail, and evocative imagery highlight the artist's mastery of the woodcut medium. The print's subject matter resonates with themes of faith, divine authority, and the Christian teachings. The "Ecclesia Christi (Faith)" print is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
