DÜRER, Albrecht: Small Passion: 19. Christ Shown to the People

🖼 Small Passion: 19. Christ Shown to the People, 1511
Woodcut
London, United Kingdom

Crowded figures surge around Christ in this wood-engraving, their gestures frantic beneath architectural grandeur. Dürer's intimate scale transforms the Ecce Homo moment into urgent human drama, establishing the Northern Renaissance mastery of narrative density within miniature form.
