Peccati Mortisque Triumphor Christus is a 1744 ink by Marco Alvise Pitteri, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white engraving of a bearded man looking upward, his hands clasped in front of him. His hair is long and wavy, and he wears a loose robe that drapes over his shoulders. The background is plain, keeping all focus on his face and gesture. The text below reads *"Peccati mortisque triumphator Christus"*—Latin for "Christ, triumphant over sin and death." This was a common religious theme in the era. Next, check out engraving to see how artists like this one used fine lines to create deep shadows and texture.
