Vægdekoration - E.G. May Söhne - Jesus Kristus, antikt tryk - Tyskland
This piece is a religious print depicting Jesus Christ, measuring 32x25 cm, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century, based on the style and printing technique. The portrait is framed within an elliptical golden halo, with ornate, decorative motifs that enhance the sanctity of the figure. Jesus is portrayed with a serene and contemplative expression, eyes gazing downward, and a subtle, earthly color palette highlights his humanity. His brown hair flows in gentle waves, echoing traditional Christian iconography.
The image bears the publishing mark "Druck, Verlag u. Eigenthum von E.G. May Söhne in Frankfurt a.M.," identifying it as a work printed, published, and owned by the firm E.G. May Söhne. This publisher was known for producing religious imagery and texts, among other works, and operated in Frankfurt am Main, a hub of German literary and cultural production.
The multilingual labels reflect a pan-European Christian audience, suggesting that the print was intended for distribution among various Christian communities, transcending linguistic barriers. The inclusion of different languages indicates that the work was created with a broad market in mind, possibly to be used in churches, homes, or as part of personal devotional items across Europe.
The quality of the print, with its detailed rendering of Christ’s features and the intricate gold embellishments, suggests that it was a product of careful craftsmanship. The print has survived over a century, as evidenced by the slightly foxed and aged paper, which adds a historical character to the piece. It stands as a testament to the religious art produced by the May family's publishing business and their role in disseminating Christian iconography during their time.
