Engraved copies of The Little Passion 1485 - 1699

Albrecht Dürer's "Engraved copies of The Little Passion" is a series of woodcuts depicting the life and death of Jesus Christ. The series was originally published in 1511, but this copy is from the later 16th or 17th centuries. This particular print, “The Crucifixion,” captures the harrowing moment when Christ is nailed to the cross, and the depiction is both intensely dramatic and deeply moving. Dürer's masterful use of detail, perspective, and light creates a sense of realism and immediacy, drawing the viewer into the scene. The Little Passion series is a testament to Dürer's artistic genius and his profound understanding of the human condition.
