1504
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Great Passion: Title Page - Christ, Man of Sorrows is a 1504 by Albrecht Dürer, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This image depicts a scene with two figures. On the right, a man sits on a table, wearing a crown of thorns and a white cloth wrapped around his waist. He holds a staff in his right hand and a ball in his left. To his left, another man kneels, looking up at him with his hands outstretched. The background is a plain gray color. The kneeling man wears a long-sleeved shirt and pants, with a rope tied around his waist. The seated man's hair is long and curly, and he has a beard. The overall atmosphere of the image is somber and contemplative. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the figures, drawing the viewer's eye to the central scene.
