DÜRER, Albrecht: Christ Crowned with Thorns (No. 7)

🖼 Christ Crowned with Thorns (No. 7), 1512
Engraving
118 × 74 cm
Princeton, USA

Rendered in precise engraving, Christ's anguished face emerges amid crowding tormentors, their gestures violent and chaotic against his stillness. Dürer's 1512 print revolutionized Northern European religious imagery through intimate psychological drama and masterful printmaking technique.
