I have another variation on the Veil of Veronica face of Jesus to present this week from the Sacred Art Pilgrim Collection. The featured linocut by German Printmaker Otto Schubert depicts the moment in sacred story when the pious woman of Jerusalem who wiped the face of Christ as he carried his cross to Calvary looks down in wonderment at the holy features miraculously imprinted on her towel. The pitch black background suggests the darkness that covered the land when Jesus died by crucifixion. Probably made sometime between the two World Wars, the image is expessionistic in style, a movement so disliked by the Nazi regime, it placed Schubert on its black list of "degenerate" artists. This print of Veronica and the Sudarium (a Latin term meaning "sweat cloth") joins other linocuts of the Passion of Christ on the Otto Schubert profile page in the Sacred Artists section. (John Kohan)
