Description |
Christ carries the bodily remains of the dead up a ladder to his position on the cross. Etching by A. Hirschvogel, 1547. Christ carries the devil, cadavers and a skeleton representing sin and death as he steps on a ladder leading up to the cross. In the background, a river in a landscape. According to Falkenau, Hirschvogel's depiction is unique in German art. North Italian painters of the 13th and 14th centuries had depicted Christ being helped up a ladder on to the cross (A. Eörsi, op. cit.), but Hirschvogel emphasizes that Christ steps up willingly to sacrifice himself for mankind. Falkenau finds a similar emphasis in Luther's Postillae on Saint John the Apostle's day, 1527. Perényi was a Protestant. The Biblical texts referred to are Luke ch. 23 and II Corinthians 5, 14ff.
