Albrecht Dürer

Christ On The Cross (b. 24; M., Holl. 23)

A masterful engraving by Albrecht Dürer depicting the crucifixion of Christ, rendered with the extraordinary technical precision and expressive depth for which the artist is celebrated. This very good Meder b impression from 1508 demonstrates Dürer's command of line and form, capturing the solemnity and emotional weight of the sacred subject. Printed on paper bearing a Bull's Head watermark (Meder 62), this impression represents a fine example of the artist's devotional printmaking at the height of his powers.
