Heinrich Hofmann (1824–1911) was one of the most celebrated religious painters of 19th-century Germany — an artist whose deeply felt, technically accomplished depictions of the life of Christ became among the most widely reproduced religious images in the world. His Christ in Gethsemane and Christ and the Rich Young Ruler have been reproduced millions of times and remain genuinely moving works of devotional art — painted with a warmth, humanity, and emotional sincerity that transcends the academic tradition in which he worked. In counted cross stitch, Hofmann's luminous religious compositions and rich, warm palette translate into designs of genuine spiritual beauty.
