Vir Dolorum with the Arma Christi and angels. 1430

"Vir Dolorum with the Arma Christi and angels," painted by Master Francke in 1430, depicts the suffering Christ surrounded by instruments of his Passion. The image is a powerful and moving depiction of the pain and suffering of Jesus Christ during his crucifixion, with angels presenting the tools of his torture, such as the nails, crown of thorns, and whip, signifying his sacrifice for humanity. The intense realism and emotional expression of the figures are hallmarks of the artist's style. The painting is a testament to the religious fervor of the era and the enduring power of the Christian faith.
