Christi Triumphus (The Triumph of Christ), after Titian (c. 1488-1576)
This engraving by Johann Theodor de Bry reproduces Titian's monumental composition depicting Christ's triumph, translated from paint into the linear medium of intaglio printing around the turn of the seventeenth century. The impression is remarkably crisp and well preserved, with sharp detail throughout and minimal wear, though the print shows modest signs of age including handling creases and scattered foxing along with minor restoration to the upper left. The work originates from the distinguished collection of Professor David Davies, a noted scholar of Spanish painting whose expertise encompassed the masterworks of Velázquez and his contemporaries.
