"Christus Am Kreuz" (Christ on the Cross) is a significant work by the German engraver and painter Martin Schongauer, who was active during the late 15th century. Schongauer, born around 1448 in Colmar, Alsace, was one of the most important printmakers of his time, and his works had a profound influence on the development of engraving as an art form.

"Christus Am Kreuz" exemplifies Schongauer's mastery in the medium of engraving, showcasing his ability to render intricate details and convey deep emotional intensity. The composition depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, a central theme in Christian art, and is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and the dramatic use of light and shadow. Schongauer's depiction of Christ on the cross is both poignant and powerful, capturing the suffering and solemnity of the moment.

The engraving is characterized by its fine lines and delicate cross-hatching, techniques that Schongauer employed to create a sense of depth and texture. The figures surrounding Christ, including the Virgin Mary and St. John, are rendered with a high degree of realism and emotional expression, reflecting the artist's skill in conveying human emotion and narrative through his work.

Schongauer's influence extended beyond his lifetime, impacting artists such as Albrecht Dürer, who is known to have studied Schongauer's engravings closely. "Christus Am Kreuz" remains an important example of Northern Renaissance art and continues to be studied for its technical brilliance and its contribution to the religious and artistic culture of the period.

The work is housed in various collections, with notable impressions held by institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the British Museum, where it continues to be appreciated by scholars and art enthusiasts alike.
