Copper Engraving: Jesus at the Cross with Vanitas Symbols and Passion Implement
About the Item
Explore the profound historical narrative captured in this 18th-century French copper engraving from Paris, depicting the crucifixion of Jesus with Mary Magdalene. Rich in symbolism, this artwork offers a window into the religious and artistic traditions of its time.
Jesus, adorned with his attributes, is intricately portrayed alongside numerous symbolic elements. His Sudarium (Veil of Veronica), the instruments of the Passion, a serpent reminiscent of the Old Testament, dice, and a skull as vanitas symbols are thoughtfully incorporated. The depiction of Jesus with the tools of his suffering has been a customary motif since the Middle Ages, reflecting both religious devotion and artistic expression.
Despite the passage of time, the copper engraving exhibits the wear of history, with some tears, folds, and holes. Housed in a frame from the late 19th century, this artwork not only encapsulates the religious fervor of the 18th century but also carries the charm of a bygone era through its antique framing.

- Copper Engraving of a Sapper of the Swiss Guards at the Vatican, 1779Located in Langweer, NLThis original print is Johann Georg Wille's copper engraving of a Sappeur of the Swiss Guard from 1779. Wille was a notable artist and engraver known for his portraits and engravings during the 18th century. The piece depicts a half-length portrait of a soldier in the uniform of the Swiss Guard, likely in service in Italy, perhaps even in Rome, given the connection of the Swiss Guard with the Vatican. The soldier is portrayed as a sapper or pioneer, carrying out specialized military tasks. The dimensions of the paper and the technique used (copper engraving on paper) give a sense of the physical aspects of the artwork. The condition report indicates some minor damage but an overall good state, with some restoration work done. It's fascinating how historical artworks like this engraving can provide insights into military attire, cultural connections, and artistic techniques of the time. More details: Johann Georg Wille (1715 Königsberg, Giessen - 1808 Paris): "Sapeur des gardes suisses" Portrait of a man wearing a feather-trimmed fur hat and a sash worn over his uniform, breast piece with profile to the left, 1779.
