"Man of Sorrows" is a notable painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Geertgen tot Sint Jans, created circa 1495. This devotional image is a striking representation of Christ after the Crucifixion, showcasing him as the "Man of Sorrows," a concept deeply rooted in Christian iconography and theology. The painting is characterized by its poignant portrayal of Christ, who is depicted displaying his wounds against a dark background, often interpreted as a means of encouraging meditation on his suffering and sacrifice.

Geertgen tot Sint Jans, whose brief career spanned the late 15th century, was known for his innovative approach to religious subjects, combining the detailed realism typical of Northern Renaissance art with a profound emotional intensity. His works are considered significant for their influence on the development of Dutch painting and their reflection of the devotional practices of the time.

"Man of Sorrows" is particularly esteemed for its masterful use of light and shadow, which not only enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure but also contributes to the overall mood of the piece. The painting's composition, with Christ centrally positioned and directly engaging the viewer, serves to create an intimate and contemplative experience.

The artwork is part of a tradition of depicting Christ in a state of quiet suffering and vulnerability, a theme that gained prominence in the late Middle Ages. This representation differs from the triumphant and regal depictions of Christ in earlier Christian art, offering a more personal and humanized vision of the Savior.

Today, "Man of Sorrows" by Geertgen tot Sint Jans is recognized as an important work of the Northern Renaissance and remains an object of study for art historians and scholars of religious iconography. Its exact location and ownership, however, may not be well-documented, as with many works of art from this period.
