Christus als Man van Smarten, zittend 1515

This 1515 engraving by Albrecht Dürer, titled *Christus als Man van Smarten, zittend* depicts a seated, sorrowful Christ with a crown of thorns and a halo. The work's emotional power stems from the deeply expressive lines and the meticulous rendering of Christ's suffering. The detail in his hands, the weight of the crown, and the folds of his robe convey a sense of both vulnerability and divine strength. It's located in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is an important example of Northern Renaissance art.
