EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Albrecht Dürer's masterpiece, "The Small Passion: Pilate Washing His Hands" created between 1509 and 1511. Dürer, a renowned German artist of the Renaissance period, skillfully depicts this pivotal moment from the biblical narrative. In this woodcut artwork, we witness Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea, washing his hands in an act of symbolic absolution. The intense emotions on his face reflect his inner turmoil as he grapples with the decision to condemn Jesus Christ to crucifixion or release him. Dürer's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke and line that brings life to this profound scene. "The Small Passion" series by Dürer consists of thirty-seven woodcuts illustrating various episodes from Christ's life and passion. Each print offers a glimpse into the artist's exceptional talent for capturing human emotion and storytelling through visual art. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this particular piece exemplifies Dürer's mastery in woodcut techniques while showcasing his deep understanding of religious narratives. It serves as a testament to both his artistic prowess and enduring legacy within German art history. As we contemplate this print from Heritage Images, we are transported back in time to witness one man grappling with moral dilemmas that continue to resonate with audiences today.
