"Joden dreigen Christus te stenigen" (Jews Threatening to Stone Christ), a woodcut by Lucas van Leyden, depicts a dramatic scene from the Bible. This small-scale work, created around 1530, portrays Christ, standing with a solemn expression, as a group of Jews prepares to stone him. The scene is filled with tension and foreboding, emphasizing the cruelty of the act. The woodcut's detail and dynamic composition showcase van Leyden's mastery of this medium.
