Engraved copies of The Little Passion 1485 - 1699

"Engraved Copies of The Little Passion" is a series of woodcuts by Albrecht Dürer, created between 1485 and 1699. This particular print, "The Institution of the Eucharist," depicts the moment when Jesus Christ, surrounded by a halo of light, gives bread to his disciples at the Last Supper. The detailed engravings, characteristic of Dürer’s style, capture the solemnity of the event. This print is part of a larger series that narrates the Passion of Christ. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York holds the print, which measures roughly 5 x 3 13/16 inches.
