Christ Deploring Jerusalem, from Das Plenarium 1517

"Christ Deploring Jerusalem" is a woodcut by German artist Hans Schäufelein, dating to 1517. This small work, part of the "Das Plenarium" series, depicts Christ standing outside the walls of Jerusalem, his head in his hand, mourning the city's impending destruction. The city is depicted in the background, with a stylized landscape and a prominent gate. The woodcut's fine detail and use of color are typical of Schäufelein's style, reflecting the influence of the Northern Renaissance. This work is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
