This 1507 woodcut, *Christ as the Man of Sorrows*, depicts Jesus Christ bound and crowned with thorns, illustrating the suffering he endured during his crucifixion. The image is stark and detailed, showcasing the physical torment inflicted upon Christ, including the wounds from the scourging and the nails piercing his hands and feet. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifice made by Christ for humanity. This style of religious art is typical of the late Gothic period in Germany.
