From LinkedCulture
In a woodcut barely five inches tall, Albrecht Dürer captures the exact moment two disciples recognize the risen Christ at a roadside inn. Dramatic beams of light radiate from Christ's figure beneath a vaulted stone arch, while the disciples recoil in astonishment and a pilgrim with a broad hat and staff watches across a simple table set with plates, a cup, and bread. Created in sixteenth-century Germany, this small Passion series print shows how Dürer packed intense emotional and spiritual power into a single carved woodblock, spreading vivid religious imagery across all of northern Europe.
