"Die Gefangennahme Christi" (The Arrest of Christ) is a notable woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created circa 1509 as part of his larger series of woodcuts known as the "Kleine Passion" (Small Passion). This series comprises 36 woodcuts that depict various scenes from the Passion of Christ, starting with the Entry into Jerusalem and concluding with the Resurrection and the Last Judgment. Dürer's work on the Small Passion began around 1508 and was completed in 1510, with "Die Gefangennahme Christi" being one of the pivotal scenes within the narrative sequence.

The woodcut illustrates the dramatic moment of Jesus Christ's arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, an event described in all four Gospels of the New Testament. Dürer's composition captures the tension and chaos of the scene, as Judas Iscariot identifies Jesus with a kiss, while the apostles and soldiers are embroiled in the confusion of the nighttime betrayal. The work is characterized by Dürer's intricate detail, dynamic figures, and the stark contrasts typical of the woodcut medium, which enhance the emotional impact of the scene.

As with many of Dürer's works, "Die Gefangennahme Christi" reflects the artist's mastery of the woodcut technique and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. The Small Passion series, including this woodcut, was widely disseminated throughout Europe and contributed to Dürer's reputation as one of the foremost artists of his time. The series also exemplifies the Northern Renaissance's emphasis on devotional imagery and the growing interest in book production and graphic arts as a means of reaching a broader audience.

"Die Gefangennahme Christi" remains an important work within Albrecht Dürer's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance, as well as its role in the development of printmaking as a form of artistic expression during the Renaissance.
