"Das Schweisstuch, Von Zwei Engeln Gehalten" (The Sudarium Held by Two Angels) is a renowned engraving by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in 1513. This work exemplifies Dürer's masterful technique in printmaking and his deep engagement with religious themes, which were prevalent in his oeuvre. The engraving depicts the Sudarium, or the Veil of Veronica, a legendary Christian relic said to bear the face of Jesus Christ. According to tradition, Saint Veronica offered her veil to Christ to wipe his face on the way to his crucifixion, and his image was miraculously imprinted on the cloth.

In Dürer's interpretation, the veil is held aloft by two angels, who are rendered with exquisite detail and grace. The angels' serene expressions and delicate handling of the cloth convey a sense of reverence and sanctity. The face of Christ on the veil is depicted with a haunting realism, capturing both the suffering and the divine nature of Jesus. Dürer's skillful use of line and shading creates a striking contrast between the ethereal quality of the angels and the tangible texture of the cloth.

This engraving is notable not only for its religious significance but also for its technical brilliance. Dürer was a pioneer in the field of printmaking, and his works set new standards for the medium. "Das Schweisstuch, Von Zwei Engeln Gehalten" demonstrates his ability to convey complex textures and intricate details, making it a prime example of his craftsmanship.

The work reflects the broader cultural and spiritual milieu of the early 16th century, a period marked by intense religious devotion and the burgeoning humanist movement. Dürer's art often bridged these worlds, combining meticulous observation of the natural world with profound spiritual themes. Today, "Das Schweisstuch, Von Zwei Engeln Gehalten" is celebrated as one of Dürer's masterpieces, showcasing his unparalleled skill and deep piety.
