The Lamentation, from "The Small Passion", edition Venice 1612

"The Lamentation" is a woodcut print from Albrecht Dürer's "The Small Passion" series, created in 1612. The print depicts the emotional scene of Christ's body being mourned after his crucifixion. The detailed, intricate lines and strong contrasts of light and shadow characteristic of Dürer's style create a powerful and poignant image. This print, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to Dürer's mastery of woodcut technique and his ability to evoke deep emotion in his art.
