Albrecht Durer's "Saint Veronica between Saints Peter and Paul", a woodcut from his "Small Passion" series, depicts the iconic moment when Veronica presented Christ with a cloth, capturing the image of his suffering face. This scene, which is considered one of the most significant moments in Christ's journey, is depicted with dramatic detail and expressive lines characteristic of Durer's style. The composition, with its symmetrical arrangement of the three figures, emphasizes the central image of Christ's face on the veil, highlighting its spiritual significance. This artwork, dated 1510, exemplifies Durer's mastery of the woodcut medium and his ability to convey religious themes with emotional power.
