DÜRER, Albrecht: Man of Sorrows with Hands Bound

🖼 Man of Sorrows with Hands Bound, 1512
Drypoint
117 × 75 cm

Bound hands and downcast gaze convey profound suffering in this woodcut, rendered with Dürer's precise linear technique. The image draws from Northern European devotional tradition, depicting Christ's humiliation with psychological intensity that influenced religious art across Protestant regions.
