About the Item

Johannes 19 20 by Fritz Aigner is a deeply moving and dramatic work that confronts the viewer with themes of power, suffering, and moral confrontation. Rendered in a dark, earthy monochrome palette, the composition is filled with tense figures whose gestures and expressions convey spiritual conflict and human cruelty. Aigner’s masterful use of chiaroscuro and textured surfaces gives the scene a raw, almost sculptural presence. What makes this artwork truly special is its intense narrative force. Drawing from the biblical passage, Aigner transforms scripture into a timeless visual meditation on injustice and endurance. The density of symbolism, emotional gravity, and technical precision elevate the work beyond illustration into profound artistic statement. Its rarity, expressive strength, and historical depth fully justify its value as a significant collector’s piece. The artwork is signed by the artist at the bottom right.
