Christ is Given Vinegar to Drink 1547

"Christ is Given Vinegar to Drink" is a 1547 engraving by German artist Augustin Hirschvogel (1503-1553). Depicting a scene from the Passion of Christ, the artwork shows Christ on the cross with a soldier offering him vinegar. Hirschvogel uses detailed, expressive lines to create a sense of drama and pathos in the scene. This work reflects the strong influence of religious art on the artistic output of the time and serves as a reminder of the suffering of Christ.
