"Small Passion 23. Christ Being Nailed to the Cross" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, part of his renowned series known as the "Small Passion." Created between 1509 and 1511, the "Small Passion" consists of 37 woodcuts that depict various scenes from the life and death of Jesus Christ, culminating in his resurrection and the Last Judgment. This particular woodcut, the twenty-third in the series, captures the harrowing moment when Christ is affixed to the cross by Roman soldiers, an event central to Christian narratives of the Passion.

Dürer's mastery of the woodcut medium is evident in the intricate details and emotional depth conveyed in this image. The composition is carefully constructed to focus the viewer's attention on the central act of the crucifixion, with the figures of the soldiers straining to secure Christ's hands and feet to the cross, while a gathered crowd witnesses the scene. The stark contrasts of light and shadow enhance the dramatic effect and underscore the solemnity of the subject matter.

As with the other woodcuts in the "Small Passion" series, "Christ Being Nailed to the Cross" reflects Dürer's deep engagement with religious themes and his ability to blend traditional iconography with his own artistic innovation. The series was widely disseminated and had a significant impact on the visual culture of the Reformation, contributing to Dürer's reputation as one of the most influential artists of his time.

This woodcut, like the others in the series, was made available in book form, allowing for broader distribution and making Dürer's work accessible to a wider audience. The "Small Passion" is considered a pinnacle of Dürer's graphic oeuvre and an important work in the history of Western art, exemplifying the artist's technical skill, theological insight, and the expressive potential of the woodcut medium.
