Lucas Cranach the Elder's woodcut "Saint Bernard Adoring the Man of Sorrows" depicts Saint Bernard kneeling before a sorrowful Christ figure. The woodcut utilizes a stark contrast of black and white, creating a sense of drama. Above Christ, an ethereal halo is occupied by angels, symbolizing the divine presence. The detailed rendering of figures and drapery highlights Cranach's masterful use of line and texture in this iconic depiction of religious devotion. This artwork is a prime example of Northern Renaissance art, showcasing the emphasis on religious imagery and intricate detail.
