The Crucifixion, from the Circular Passion 1509

Lucas van Leyden's "The Crucifixion, from the Circular Passion" (1509) is a masterful example of Northern Renaissance printmaking. The circular composition, framed by an elaborate border, depicts the central figure of Christ on the cross surrounded by the figures of mourning women, soldiers, and a thief hanging on a separate cross in the distance. The intricate details and powerful emotion captured in the artwork make it a significant piece within the artist's body of work and an excellent example of Northern Renaissance engraving techniques. This print is a testament to the artistry of Lucas van Leyden.
