The Stoning of Christ c. 1440 - 1450

"The Stoning of Christ" is a woodcut print created by an anonymous artist in the 15th century. The print depicts a scene from the Bible where Jesus is being stoned by a crowd. The figures are rendered in a simple, stylized manner, with strong black outlines and limited color. The artist's use of woodcut printing allowed for the mass production of religious imagery, which was widely disseminated throughout Europe during the Middle Ages. This type of art was often used for devotional purposes and served as a visual aid for teaching and understanding the Bible.
