From LinkedCulture
Albrecht Dürer chose a striking opening for his Large Passion series, placing a quietly suffering Christ face to face with a kneeling soldier rather than depicting an outburst of violence. Christ sits crowned with thorns, his haloed head surrounded by radiating lines, while ropes and a scourge lie scattered on the ground between the two figures. This German woodcut, made around 1497 to 1510, shows Dürer's mastery of dense cross-hatching to render flesh and fabric with extraordinary depth, setting a new standard for printmaking across northern Europe.
