Lucas van Leyden's 1517 engraving, "Christ as the Man of Sorrows with the Instruments of the Passion," depicts Christ bound and crowned with thorns, his body bearing the marks of his suffering. The detailed depiction of the tools of Christ's crucifixion, including the whip, nails, and crown of thorns, creates a powerful visual representation of his agony. This work showcases the artist's mastery of etching and the use of light and shadow to create depth and emotion. The image is a poignant reminder of Christ's sacrifice and continues to resonate with viewers today.
