Christ on the Cross 

Albrecht Dürer’s “Christ on the Cross” is a powerful and moving depiction of the crucifixion, executed in meticulous detail using silverpoint on paper. This artwork is a study for a larger painting, showcasing Dürer’s exceptional skill in capturing anatomical precision and emotional intensity. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and realism, enhancing the viewer's engagement with Christ's suffering. While the drawing itself is devoid of color, Dürer's masterful linework and shading evoke a sense of drama and pathos, making this a significant work in the history of religious art.
