Painting Description
"Small Passion 24. Christ on the Cross" is a woodcut by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer, part of his larger series known as the "Small Passion." Created around 1511, this series comprises 37 woodcuts that depict various scenes from the life and death of Jesus Christ. The "Small Passion" is considered one of Dürer's masterpieces in the medium of woodcut and reflects his deep engagement with Christian themes, as well as his innovative approach to printmaking.
The woodcut "Christ on the Cross" is the 24th in the sequence and portrays the pivotal moment of the crucifixion. In this image, Dürer presents a detailed and emotive depiction of Christ's suffering on the cross, surrounded by figures that include the Virgin Mary, Saint John the Evangelist, and Mary Magdalene. The composition is notable for its intricate detail and the expressive gestures of the figures, which convey the profound sorrow and devotion of the moment.
Dürer's technical skill is evident in the fine lines and careful shading that give form and volume to the figures and the landscape. The woodcut is also significant for its theological implications, as it reflects the devotional practices and beliefs of the time, particularly the emphasis on Christ's humanity and the importance of empathetic meditation on his Passion.
"Small Passion 24. Christ on the Cross" is not only a testament to Dürer's artistic genius but also an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the religious and artistic milieu of early 16th-century Europe. The series, including this woodcut, contributed to the spread of Dürer's fame across Europe and solidified his reputation as one of the foremost artists of the Northern Renaissance.
