Albrecht Dürer’s 1598 tapestry, *Christ Carrying the Cross*, depicts a scene of intense pain and suffering. The central figure of Christ is shown kneeling beneath the weight of the cross, while surrounding him are a multitude of figures, both men and women, reacting to the scene with various expressions of sorrow and anger. Dürer’s attention to detail and dramatic composition is evident in the tapestry, which is a powerful testament to the artist’s skill and the enduring impact of the Passion of Christ on the Christian faith.
