Stations of the Cross is a 1999 by Adrian Wiszniewski, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Adrian Wiszniewski made *Stations of the Cross* in 1999. It’s a set of fourteen linocut prints showing the last events in Christ’s life. This version keeps the old theme but dresses the figures in modern clothes. The series treats the Passion scenes as timeless types, not bound to one culture. His simple linocut method uses strong colors and flowing lines to make the images stand out. The print here shows the Pieta—Mary holding Christ’s body after the crucifixion. Look up the full set at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
This linocut by Adrian Wiszniewski is part of a 1999 series of fourteen prints titled *Stations of the Cross*, depicting the Passion of Christ in a modern style. The image, rendered in white line on a red background, portrays the *Pietà*, where the Virgin Mary mourns over Christ’s body. Figures are dressed in contemporary clothing yet appear , transcending specific cultural or historical context. The technique emphasizes fluid lines and bold color to convey the scene’s emotional weight.
