Christ Consoling the Centurion 

This print by Master I.B., a German artist active between 1525 and 1530, depicts the biblical story of Christ Consoling the Centurion. The scene shows a kneeling centurion, a Roman soldier, humbly pleading with Christ for the healing of his servant. The composition is framed by a circular border, which gives the image a sense of intimacy and focus. The print is a fine example of the use of line and shading to create form and depth, characteristic of the German Renaissance style. The print likely served a devotional purpose, reminding viewers of Christ's compassionate nature and his willingness to help even those considered outsiders.
