Birthright, George Abraham

“Holbein’s originality, then, lies in the vision of Christly death that is devoid of pathos and is intimate on account of its very banality. Humanization thus reached its highest point: the point at which glory is obliterated through the image. When the dismal brushes against the nondescript, the most disturbing sign is the most ordinary one.”

— Julia Kristeva, tr. Leon S. Roudiez, “Holbein’s Dead Christ” (via abandonarium)
