"The Large Passion 5. Christ Bearing the Cross" is a woodcut created by the renowned German artist Albrecht Dürer, forming part of his celebrated series known as "The Large Passion." This series, consisting of 12 woodcuts, was produced between 1497 and 1510 and is considered one of Dürer's most significant contributions to the art of printmaking. The series illustrates the Passion of Christ, depicting the events leading up to and including the Crucifixion, and is notable for its intricate detail, emotional depth, and technical mastery.

In "Christ Bearing the Cross," Dürer captures the moment when Jesus carries the cross to Golgotha, the site of his crucifixion. The composition is marked by its dynamic arrangement and the intense expressions of the figures, which convey the physical and emotional weight of the scene. Dürer's use of line and shading in the woodcut medium demonstrates his exceptional skill in creating texture and depth, bringing a vivid realism to the depiction.

The Large Passion series was initially published in 1511, accompanied by Latin text written by Benedictine monk and humanist scholar Benedictus Chelidonius. This publication was part of Dürer's broader effort to produce affordable religious art for a wider audience, reflecting the growing accessibility of printed materials during the Renaissance.

Dürer's work on "The Large Passion" series, including "Christ Bearing the Cross," is highly regarded for its innovative approach to narrative and its influence on subsequent generations of artists. The series exemplifies Dürer's ability to blend Northern European artistic traditions with the emerging Renaissance ideals of humanism and naturalism. Today, these woodcuts are held in high esteem and can be found in major art collections and museums around the world, where they continue to be studied and admired for their historical and artistic significance.
