DÜRER, Albrecht: Crucifixion (No. 11)

🖼 Crucifixion (No. 11), 1511
Engraving
118 × 74 cm
New York, USA

Crucifixion (No. 11) Albrecht Dürer's 1511 Crucifixion exemplifies the Northern Renaissance master's profound ability to merge meticulous technical skill with deep spiritual emotion. Created during a period when Dürer was at the height of his artistic powers, this work showcases the German artist's characteristic attention to anatomical precision and dramatic emotional intensity in depicting Christ's suffering. The composition reflects both the influence of Italian Renaissance ideals that Dürer had absorbed during his travels and the intensely expressive tradition of Northern European religious art.
