On View
Not on viewThe Triumph of Christ is a woodcut composed initially of ten blocks and measuring nearly six feet in length. Designed by Titian as early as 1508, and probably no later than 1510-11, it was his first foray into the medium of printmaking. Successful and influential, the print appeared in six editions before the end of the 16th century. De Bry’s miniature engraving differently reflects the continued interest in the Triumph.
