From LinkedCulture
A lantern-lit crowd is already moving through the gate while Christ still kneels in prayer, and Dürer captures both moments in a single frame. Made around 1497 to 1500, this woodcut from the Large Passion series shows three apostles sprawled in exhaustion while an angel descends bearing a chalice above. Dürer was barely in his mid-twenties, yet his dense crosshatching across rock and drapery created a nocturnal atmosphere that pushed the woodcut to rival the tonal depth of copper engraving.
