"Christ in Limbo" is a woodcut print by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created circa 1510 as part of his larger series of woodcuts known as the "Small Passion." The "Small Passion" consists of 37 woodcuts that depict various scenes from the Passion of Christ, starting with the Entry into Jerusalem and concluding with the Last Judgment. Dürer's "Christ in Limbo" illustrates the event between Christ's Crucifixion and Resurrection, where Christian theology holds that Christ descended to the realm of the dead, referred to as "Limbo" or "Hell" in the Apostles' Creed, to liberate the souls of the righteous who had died before his coming.

In this woodcut, Dürer masterfully captures the dramatic moment of Christ's descent, as he is shown breaking down the gates of Limbo to free the souls of the patriarchs and prophets. The work is characterized by Dürer's intricate detail, dynamic composition, and the expressive intensity of the figures, which is typical of his style. The print measures approximately 12.7 x 9.8 cm and is one of the smaller works within the series.

"Christ in Limbo" reflects Dürer's deep engagement with Christian iconography and his innovative approach to visual storytelling. His use of woodcut, a medium that allowed for the wide dissemination of his work, contributed to the spread of the Reformation ideas that were gaining momentum at the time. The print is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it reflects the religious and cultural shifts of early 16th-century Europe.

Today, "Christ in Limbo" is held in high regard as an exemplary piece of Dürer's graphic oeuvre and is studied for its theological implications as well as its technical and artistic achievements. The work can be found in various collections, including museums and libraries, and continues to be a subject of interest for art historians, scholars of the Renaissance, and enthusiasts of Dürer's work.
