The Entry into Jerusalem 1501

"The Entry into Jerusalem" painted by Hans Holbein the Elder in 1501 depicts a pivotal moment in the Passion of Christ. This painting, currently housed in the Städel Museum, depicts the scene where Jesus enters Jerusalem on a donkey, his followers celebrating and laying down palm branches in his path. The artwork showcases Holbein's meticulous detail and realism in his depiction of the figures and the architectural setting. It's a powerful portrayal of faith and the anticipation of Jesus's imminent sacrifice.
