Christ's Entry into Jerusalem, from The Small Passion (copy) 1485 - 1600

This woodcut, "Christ's Entry into Jerusalem," is a part of Albrecht Dürer's "Small Passion" series, created between 1485 and 1600. This piece depicts the moment when Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey, with his disciples and crowds following him. Palm branches line the streets, symbolizing the triumphal welcome given to Jesus as he rode into the city. Dürer’s masterful use of detail, both in the figures and the cityscape, reveals his skill as a printmaker, while the subject matter is a powerful reminder of the biblical account of Jesus' journey. This print is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York.
