Painting Description
"The Large Passion: 1. Title Page" is a notable woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created around 1497–1511. This work is part of a series of woodcuts known as "The Large Passion," which depicts various scenes from the Passion of Christ. The title page serves as the frontispiece to this ambitious series, which is considered one of Dürer's masterpieces in the medium of woodcut.
The title page features a complex composition that includes a central image of the Man of Sorrows, Christ shown with the instruments of his Passion, surrounded by a throng of angels in mourning. This central motif is encased within an elaborate architectural framework, which is a characteristic feature of Dürer's title pages, demonstrating his interest in proportion, symmetry, and the classical language of architecture.
Dürer's "The Large Passion" series, including the title page, was part of his larger body of work that contributed to the development of the woodcut as a serious medium for artistic expression. The series was published in book form in 1511, with Latin text by Benedictus Chelidonius facing the woodcuts, making it accessible to a literate and scholarly audience. The title page not only introduces the series but also showcases Dürer's skill in combining text and image, a hallmark of his printed works.
The "The Large Passion: 1. Title Page" is held in high esteem for its technical excellence and its emotional impact, reflecting the artist's deep engagement with religious themes. Dürer's work on the series spanned several years, indicating the significant investment of time and resources in creating these intricate and expressive images. Today, the woodcuts from "The Large Passion," including the title page, are housed in various collections around the world and continue to be studied for their artistic and historical significance.
