From LinkedCulture
This engraving fits in the palm of your hand, yet Dürer packed an entire trial into it. Christ stands bound and crowned with thorns on a raised stone step, a turbaned figure gesturing beside him while an armored soldier turns his back to us in the foreground. Made in 1512 as part of Dürer's Engraved Passion series, the dense lines of the burin give each figure a psychological weight that pulls the viewer directly into the scene, making you feel like part of the crowd passing judgment.
