EDITORS COMMENTS
Christ Crowned with Thorns," a masterpiece by the renowned German artist Albrecht Altdorfer, dates back to the early 16th century. This powerful woodcut print, created around 1513, is a poignant depiction of the Passion of Christ as described in the New Testament. The image captures the moment when Jesus, with a somber expression, is forced to wear the Crown of Thorns. The cruelty of the Roman soldiers is palpable as they shove the thorns onto Christ's head, causing him immense pain. The figure of Christ, with his long, flowing hair and piercing gaze, exudes an air of quiet dignity and acceptance. The background of the print is filled with a chaotic scene of men, some jeering, others looking on in awe or disbelief. The use of contrasting light and shadow creates a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer into the narrative. This woodcut print is a significant work in the history of art, as it is one of the earliest known depictions of the Stations of the Cross in a print format. It is a testament to Altdorfer's artistic skill and his ability to convey the emotional depth and complexity of the biblical story. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this rare and important work in its collection, allowing visitors to experience the rich heritage of European art and the enduring power of religious imagery.
