The Crucifixion of Christ - Historical Engraving by J. Flegel (c. 1850) #3324744 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white wood engraving, signed “J. Flegel del. et sc.” (likely mid-19th century), vividly portrays the crucifixion of Jesus Christ at Golgotha. Central to the composition is Christ on the cross with INRI inscription above, flanked by the penitent and impenitent thieves; below, the Virgin Mary faints into the arms of attendants while St. John kneels in devotion. The intricate linework captures emotional intensity, period clothing, and expressive faces, reflecting Romantic-era religious artistry.
