Engraved copies of The Little Passion 1485 - 1699

This engraving, one of a series called *The Little Passion*, depicts the moment when Jesus is crowned with thorns. Created by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer between 1485 and 1699, this work exemplifies Dürer’s mastery of detail and his ability to convey emotion through line. The scene, set in a Roman courtyard, captures the brutality of the event with vivid detail. The contorted faces of the tormentors and the resigned expression of Christ emphasize the suffering and injustice of the moment. Dürer’s *The Little Passion* series is considered a seminal work of Northern Renaissance printmaking.
