Longinus steekt de gekruisigde Christus met een lans 1582 - 1671

This 16th-century engraving, “Longinus steekt de gekruisigde Christus met een lans,” by Heinrich Ulrich, is a striking depiction of the crucifixion of Christ. The scene is rendered in a detailed and realistic manner, emphasizing the suffering of Christ and the emotional responses of those around him. The dramatic composition, with Christ at the center and the figures surrounding him in a circular formation, creates a sense of intensity and immediacy. This print, a small but powerful work, is part of the Rijksmuseum’s collection, showcasing the artistry of engraving during the late Renaissance.
