"Small Passion, 11. Christ Taken Captive" is a notable work by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created as part of his "Small Passion" series. This series, completed between 1509 and 1511, is a collection of 37 woodcuts that depict various scenes from the life and Passion of Christ, starting from the Fall of Man to the Last Judgment. "Christ Taken Captive," the eleventh piece in the series, portrays the moment of Jesus Christ's arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, an event that is pivotal in the Christian narrative of the Passion.

Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528), a leading figure of the Northern Renaissance, was renowned for his advancements in printmaking, particularly in woodcut techniques. His works are characterized by their intricate detail, emotional depth, and theological complexity. The "Small Passion" series, including "Christ Taken Captive," exemplifies Dürer's skill in conveying complex narratives within the constraints of small-scale woodcuts, measuring approximately 128 x 98 mm each.

In "Christ Taken Captive," Dürer captures the dramatic intensity of the scene with a keen eye for detail and composition. The work is distinguished by its dynamic figures and the expressive faces that convey the turmoil of the moment. Dürer's use of contrast, with deep shadows and intricate lines, enhances the emotional impact of the scene. This piece, like others in the series, reflects Dürer's deep engagement with Christian themes and his ability to interpret biblical stories through a distinctly Northern Renaissance lens.

The "Small Passion" series was widely circulated in Europe, contributing to Dürer's fame and influence. "Christ Taken Captive," as a significant part of this series, not only showcases Dürer's technical prowess but also his capacity to engage with and depict complex religious narratives. Today, the series is celebrated for its artistic merit and its role in the development of narrative woodcut series, with "Christ Taken Captive" standing as a poignant example of Dürer's mastery over the medium.
