Christ lead to Prison c. 1490

"Christ Lead to Prison" is a woodcut print from c. 1490 by an anonymous artist. The image depicts the moment when Jesus is being taken into custody by Roman soldiers. The scene is set outdoors, with a rocky landscape and a flag in the background. Jesus is shown in the center of the image, with his hands bound and a crown of thorns on his head. The soldiers surround him, some wielding weapons, while others appear to be forcing him to walk. This depiction of a scene from the Passion of Christ is a common theme in religious art and illustrates the suffering of Jesus before his crucifixion. The woodcut's simple composition and bold colors are characteristic of the artistic style of the late Middle Ages.
