Summary
A study of engravings and sculptures reveals the evolution of Christ's depiction in Christian art, particularly focusing on mannerist representations. The research highlights how Johann Andreas Pfeffel Jr.'s and Sr.'s works, along with Michelangelo's sculptures, illustrate allegorical themes related to Christ's Passion, resurrection, and the Eucharist. It also explores the significance of relics, such as the column of flagellation from the Holy Land, preserved in Rome and Aachen Cathedral, which pilgrims venerated for centuries. The analysis draws connections between these artistic representations and biblical texts, offering insights into the symbolic and theological dimensions of mannerist Christ figures.
