Vintage Religious Lithograph Print – Jesus Christus (St. Veronica’s Handkerchief) after Gabriel Max
A striking vintage religious lithograph depicting the Holy Face of Christ, based on the celebrated 1874 work St. Veronica’s Handkerchief (Jesus Christus) by Austrian artist Gabriel Cornelius Ritter von Max.
This beautifully atmospheric print captures Christ wearing the Crown of Thorns with eyes gently closed, rendered in muted sepia tones with subtle crimson highlights. The image is surrounded by a wide original margin and remains an impressive decorative and devotional piece, ideal for a church, chapel, study or traditional home.
