"Christ in Limbo" (1491) is a notable woodcut by German artist Michael Wolgemut, renowned for his significant contribution to the development of printmaking in Europe during the late 15th century. This work is part of a series of illustrations created for the "Nuremberg Chronicle," also known as "Liber Chronicarum," a world history compiled by Hartmann Schedel and published in 1493. The "Nuremberg Chronicle" is one of the earliest and most lavishly illustrated books of the incunabula period, the era in which books were transitioning from being handwritten to printed.

The woodcut "Christ in Limbo" depicts a scene from Christian theology, specifically the Harrowing of Hell, which refers to the triumphant descent of Christ into Limbo (or Hell) between his Crucifixion and Resurrection. In this event, it is believed that Christ liberated the souls of the righteous who had died before his Incarnation. Wolgemut's representation is characterized by its intricate detail and dynamic composition, reflecting the Gothic style that was prevalent at the time.

Michael Wolgemut was an influential figure in the art world, not only as an artist but also as a teacher to Albrecht Dürer, one of the most important figures of the Northern Renaissance. "Christ in Limbo" exemplifies Wolgemut's skill in woodcut design and his ability to convey complex theological narratives through visual art. The piece serves as an important artifact of late medieval religious beliefs and artistic practices, as well as a testament to the collaborative nature of book production in the 15th century.
