From LinkedCulture
A cloth covers the face of Christ entirely, making the son of God unrecognizable, and that erasure is the whole point. In this sixteenth-century woodcut by Albrecht Dürer, tormentors press in from every side, one blowing a trumpet directly at his ear, while dense hatching fills the scene with suffocating tension. The image draws on a passage from Isaiah that described the suffering servant as having no beauty, a prophecy Passion writers used to justify depicting Christ as disfigured beyond recognition. Dürer turns that theology into something you can see and feel.
