Engraved copies of The Little Passion 1485 - 1699

This engraving, one of a series titled “The Little Passion”, is by Albrecht Dürer. Dürer, a master of Northern Renaissance art, is best known for his woodcuts and engravings. In this work, Jesus washes the feet of his disciples, an iconic scene depicting humility. Dürer's meticulous detail in the figures and the dramatic use of light and shadow enhance the emotional weight of the scene. The engraving was likely intended for a private audience, and is a powerful testament to Dürer's artistic skills.
