Crucifixion – Serigraph on Naturally Aged Wood

This magnificent serigraph represents the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, one of the most renowned themes in Christian iconography. The Crucifixion is considered the ultimate sacrifice of Christ and holds a prominent place in Christian faith. At the center of the image is the Cross of martyrdom, with the Virgin Mary depicted below and to the right, accompanied by three other women known as the Three Marys, including Mary Magdalene. On the left is the beloved disciple and apostle of Jesus, Saint John the Theologian.

The Crucifixion of Christ is characterized as the supreme sacrifice, an unparalleled act of love by Jesus for all of humanity. This is why the cross is regarded as the central symbol of the Orthodox Church and Christianity in general, reminding us of Jesus’ Crucifixion and the salvation of humankind through His Passion and death. It symbolizes both Christ Himself and the faith of Christians.

The unique aesthetic value of this image lies in the aged wood from a restored cell, with cracks that bear witness to its time in Mount Athos, further enhancing its authenticity.

As the image is handmade and the wood is processed by hand, slight variations in the wood may occur, but not in the depiction.
