Hoofd van lijdende Christus met doornenkroon 1519

"Head of the Suffering Christ with Crown of Thorns" is a small engraving by German artist Sebald Beham, created in 1519. The artwork, now in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a close-up view of Christ's head, crowned with thorns, emphasizing his pain and suffering. Beham’s detailed and expressive style conveys the intensity of Christ's agony, making this work a powerful example of Northern Renaissance art. The small size and intimate focus on Christ's face create a sense of personal devotion, likely intended for private contemplation.
