Full Description
Planned at the same time as his great Apocalypse, Dürer's series of woodcuts illustrating the Passion of Christ, produced between 1497 and 1510, is one of the summits of his art and an astonishing sixteenth-century demonstration of virtuosic printmaking. Dürer's meditation on the final moments of Jesus' story is both awe-inspiring and profoundly human.
