Christ as the Man of Sorrows 1430 - 1440

"Christ as the Man of Sorrows," an anonymous artwork from the early 15th century, presents a poignant depiction of Christ's suffering. The image shows Christ seated within a tomb, his body bearing the marks of his crucifixion. Surrounding him are tools of his torture, including the cross, nails, hammer, and crown of thorns, all meticulously detailed. This artwork, likely created for private devotion, powerfully evokes the pain and sacrifice of Christ, a common theme in medieval Christian art.
