From LinkedCulture
This print is barely the size of a playing card, yet Albrecht Dürer packed an entire world of grief into it. Made around 1511 as part of his Engraved Passion series, this engraving shows Christ on the cross, with the Virgin's hands clasped in prayer and Saint John's sorrowful gaze turned upward beside a helmeted soldier. At just eleven by seven centimeters, the density of line rivals painting, and it stands as proof of how far Dürer pushed the engraver's burin beyond all expectation.
