From LinkedCulture
Around 1500, Albrecht Dürer engraved Christ standing before the cross, hands turned outward, wounds visible, face lifted in anguish beneath the crown of thorns. A skull, nails, and a die are scattered at his feet, each a symbol of the Passion. Dürer's dense crosshatching models every muscle and fold of cloth with a precision that challenged painting on its own terms. This print proved that an image made in multiples could carry the same devotional force as any unique work of art.
