This woodcut was part of Albrecht Dürer’s famous series of 12 prints detailing the Passion of Christ. Published in 1511, the prints illustrated a text by the monk Benedictus Chelidonius. The frontispiece of the series, Christ, Man of Sorrows, Mocked by a Soldier , takes place in a supernatural setting. The frame of clouds around the scene indicates that Christ has already ascended to heaven, but the presence of his five mortal wounds show that he is still affected by earthly sin.
