Salvator Mundi

Christ is shown in a three-quarter profile, his head surrounded by an intense, radiating halo of light that fills the entire background. He holds a dark, reflective orb topped with a cross in his left hand, while his right hand is raised in a traditional gesture of benediction. The engraving features the highly detailed, swelling lines characteristic of the artist's virtuoso style.

This work reflects the Neoplatonic emphasis on light (Lux) as a manifestation of divine intelligence and the 'Logos' that orders the cosmos. The globus cruciger represents the integration of the material world under spiritual sovereignty, a central theme in Renaissance natural philosophy and Hermetic thought.
