Man of Sorrows by the Column

Albrecht DürerLinkedCulture matchlcp-840f7214ff34

From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record

To make Christ's persecution real and present, pictures began to show the resurrected figure dead yet alive--standing, eyes usually open, and displaying the wounds of the Crucifixion. Beholders were meant to understand that Christ's Passion was ongoing, forever requiring their ardent devotion. This Man of Sorrows is timeless yet palpable, a figure who is at once divine and convincingly human. Germany, Europe

From LinkedCulture

In 1509, Albrecht Dürer engraved Christ standing, eyes open, crowned with thorns and gripping a reed sceptre, his wounds fully visible, neither fully dead nor alive. Behind him, a fluted column and trailing rope anchor the scene, while two grieving figures below look up in anguish. Dürer's dense crosshatching gives the body a sculptural, almost physical weight. This print matters because it collapses the distance between a divine moment in history and the personal conscience of whoever stands before it.
