Albrecht Dürer's "Arrest of Christ" is a pen and ink drawing depicting the moment when Jesus is seized by Roman soldiers. The drawing showcases Dürer's masterful skill in capturing the drama and emotion of the scene. The composition is dynamic, with figures moving and interacting in a flurry of activity, emphasizing the chaotic nature of the event. The use of hatching and cross-hatching creates a sense of depth and texture, enhancing the realism of the figures. This sketch, likely created as preparation for a larger painting, exemplifies Dürer's ability to convey both the physicality of the scene and the emotional weight of this pivotal moment in Christian history.
