"The Infant Richard Crucified by the Jews at Pontoise, after a Woodcut from Liber Chronicarum Mundi" is a woodcut illustration attributed to Michael Wolgemut, an influential German painter and printmaker. This woodcut was included in the "Liber Chronicarum Mundi," more commonly known as the Nuremberg Chronicle, which was published in 1493 in Nuremberg, Germany. The Chronicle, one of the earliest and most lavishly illustrated books of the incunabula period, was written by Hartmann Schedel and printed by Anton Koberger.

The woodcut depicts the alleged ritual murder of a Christian child, Richard of Pontoise, by Jews, a subject that reflects the anti-Semitic myths prevalent in medieval Europe. These myths often led to the persecution of Jewish communities and were based on the unfounded accusation that Jews engaged in the ritual killing of Christian children. The image is a stark representation of the blood libel, a pervasive legend that contributed to the suffering and marginalization of Jewish people during this period.

Michael Wolgemut, the master of the renowned artist Albrecht Dürer, ran a large workshop in Nuremberg and is known for his significant contributions to the development of woodcut as an artistic medium. The Nuremberg Chronicle contains numerous woodcut illustrations that are either directly executed by Wolgemut and his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff, or produced under their supervision. The woodcuts in the Chronicle are notable for their intricate detail and narrative quality, which was groundbreaking at the time of their creation.

The woodcut of the infant Richard crucified by the Jews serves as a historical example of the prejudices and societal attitudes of the time, and it is studied not only for its artistic value but also for its cultural and historical implications. It is important to approach such images with a critical understanding of the context in which they were created and the impact they had on the lives of real communities.
