Painting Description
"The Passion (detail 1)" is a notable work by the German artist Hans Holbein the Younger, created between 1524 and 1525. This piece forms part of a larger series of woodcuts, engravings, or paintings that depict the Passion of Christ, a subject that has been a central theme in Christian art. Holbein, born in Augsburg and active during the Northern Renaissance, was renowned for his skillful rendering of both religious and secular subjects, and his works on the Passion are considered some of the most poignant and influential interpretations of the theme from this period.
The artwork, like others in the series, would have been used to aid in private devotion or as part of a larger altarpiece in a church setting. Holbein's depiction of the Passion is characterized by its detailed narrative and emotional intensity, which reflects the artist's mastery of form and his ability to convey complex theological concepts through visual means. The specific scene and compositional details of "The Passion (detail 1)" would typically illustrate a moment from the biblical accounts of the last hours of Jesus Christ, such as the Last Supper, the Agony in the Garden, the Arrest of Jesus, the Trial before Pilate, the Flagellation, the Crucifixion, or the Entombment.
Holbein's work from this period is marked by its realism and attention to human emotion, setting it apart from the more stylized or symbolic medieval representations of the same scenes. His use of perspective, light, and shadow was innovative for the time and contributed to a more immersive and immediate experience for the viewer. The Passion series would have been influential not only for its devotional function but also for its artistic merit, as Holbein's techniques and stylistic choices would go on to influence subsequent generations of artists.
As with many works of the era, the provenance and historical context of "The Passion (detail 1)" provide insight into the religious, cultural, and artistic milieu of early 16th-century Europe. The Reformation was beginning to take hold in parts of the continent, and Holbein's work navigated the complex interplay between traditional Catholic iconography and the emerging Protestant skepticism toward religious images.
Today, "The Passion (detail 1)" by Hans Holbein the Younger is recognized as an important piece within the artist's oeuvre and the broader canon of Renaissance art. It continues to be studied for its artistic excellence and its role in the religious and cultural history of the period.
