Bloed van Christus aan het kruis wordt opgevangen in bekers door drie engelen

From LinkedCulture

Three winged angels hover beside the crucified Christ, each catching his blood in a chalice, while a fourth kneels below at his feet. This woodcut on paper, attributed to Albrecht Dürer around 1513, pairs that striking image with two columns of Latin text guiding the viewer through meditation on Christ's death. It matters because it captures an entire system of late medieval devotion in a single printed sheet, at the very moment the Reformation was beginning to upend it.
