The Crucifixion of Jesus - Historical Engraving by J. D. Fegel (1840s) #72691 (License: Personal Use)

This finely detailed black-and-white engraving by German artist Johann Daniel Fegel (1805-1876) captures the solemn moment of Christ’s crucifixion, rendered with dramatic chiaroscuro and expressive figures. The composition includes the Virgin Mary fainting into the arms of Saint John, Mary Magdalene kneeling in grief, and Roman soldiers observing; the INRI inscription appears above Christ’s head. The scene reflects 19th-century devotional artistry rooted in Catholic tradition and Renaissance iconography.
