This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a profound and thought-provoking artwork titled "Infant Christ Asleep, Cross, Head Resting, Skull". Created by an anonymous Italian artist in the 17th century after Guido Reni, this etching portrays a deeply symbolic scene. In the foreground of the image, we see an infant Jesus peacefully asleep. His tiny head rests upon a skull, symbolizing mortality and reminding us of his ultimate sacrifice on the cross. The crown of thorns and nails placed nearby further emphasize this theme of suffering and redemption. The meticulous details captured in this print highlight the skillful craftsmanship of its creator. Every line and shadow adds depth to the composition, evoking a sense of reverence for both artistry and spirituality.
