Monogram van Christus 1500 - 1510

Albrecht Dürer’s “Monogram van Christus” (c. 1500-1510) is a woodcut print featuring a complex design centered around the monogram “Christus.” The intertwined letters “C” and “S” form the central motif, with a depiction of the crucifixion at their intersection. The inscription “Ihesus Nazarenus rex Iudeorum” (“Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews”) wraps around the monogram, further emphasizing the religious theme of the artwork.
