Seated Man of Sorrows (Schr. 910) 15th century

This 15th century woodcut depicts a seated figure of Christ, likely representing the "Man of Sorrows" theme, which focuses on Christ's suffering before his crucifixion. The artwork, attributed to an unknown artist, is a testament to the expressive power of woodcuts in conveying religious imagery. The figure's posture and the sorrowful expression on his face are rendered with a degree of realism, despite the artwork's small size. The red background and the inclusion of a halo and crown of thorns further emphasize Christ's divinity and sacrifice.
