"The Harrowing of Hell" is a woodcut by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, created circa 1510 as part of his larger body of work known as the "Small Passion" series. This series comprises 37 woodcuts depicting various scenes from the Passion of Christ, with "The Harrowing of Hell" illustrating the event between Christ's crucifixion and resurrection where he is said to have descended into Hell to free the souls of the righteous who had died before his coming.

Dürer's depiction of this apocryphal event is rich in detail and iconography, reflecting the Northern Renaissance style and his own innovative approach to printmaking. In the woodcut, Christ is shown triumphantly breaking down the gates of Hell, often portrayed with a cross or a banner as a symbol of victory. The scene is filled with figures representing the souls awaiting redemption, including Old Testament figures such as Adam and Eve, King David, and John the Baptist, who are often depicted in this narrative.

As a master of the woodcut technique, Dürer's work is characterized by its intricate line work and dynamic composition. "The Harrowing of Hell" exemplifies his skill in conveying movement and emotion through the stark contrasts of black and white, creating a powerful visual narrative that has captivated viewers for centuries.

This woodcut, like others in the "Small Passion" series, was widely disseminated throughout Europe, contributing to Dürer's reputation as one of the foremost artists of his time. It reflects the theological interests of the period, particularly the fascination with the afterlife and the redemption offered through Christ's sacrifice. "The Harrowing of Hell" remains an important work in the study of Renaissance art and theology, as well as in the oeuvre of Albrecht Dürer.
