Experience the mesmerizing optical illusion of 'Jesus Christus' by Gabriel von Max, dated 1874. This remarkable framed print on woven fabric, likely silk, showcases intricate details and invites viewers to witness an enchanting effect where Christ's eyes appear to open and close based on perspective. Although the print exhibits significant yellowing, fading, and discoloration due to age, its historical significance remains impactful. The black painted wood frame shows numerous chips, scuffs, and areas of paint loss, particularly at the corners and bottom edge, adding a layer of vintage character. The gold-painted beaded trim is worn but still adds elegance to the piece. Notably, the paper backing on the reverse is brittle and has several tears, indicating its age and an absence of archival care over the years. This artwork is a testament to the artistic legacy of Gabriel Cornelius Ritter von Max (1840-1915), a prominent Austrian painter known for exploring themes of spirituality. Don't miss this unique opportunity to own a piece of art history!

**Important** Live Auctioneers has their own shipping program. We find it to be very expensive and slow. This is the rate you see advertised when bidding. We do not recommend using them. If you do use them you must checkout via Live Auctioneers and choose LiveShip at checkout. If you pay via Live Auctioneers and want our In-house shipping you must choose self-arranged shipping at checkout. If you checkout via Lodestar Auctions this does not apply. I apologize if this is confusing, Live Auctioneers purposely arranged it this way to push their own overpriced shipping service. We are not happy about this and are trying to make it work.
