Portrait of Christ 1570

Melchior Lorck's "Portrait of Christ" (1570) is a small-scale woodcut print depicting a profile view of Jesus Christ. The artwork is characterized by its detailed rendering of Christ's features, including his flowing hair and beard. The artist uses hatching lines to create depth and texture, resulting in a lifelike portrait. Christ's head is surrounded by a halo, a common symbol of divinity in Christian art. The print is a testament to Lorck's skill in creating realistic and emotionally resonant imagery. It's held by the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark.
