Christ on the Mount of Olives

About this work

This black-and-white print shows a chaotic scene of three figures tangled together. One person is on the ground, clutching their head, while another leans over them. A third figure stands nearby, holding a cross. The background is packed with swirling lines and small shapes that look like a storm or crowd. Notice how the artist used sharp, jagged lines to show emotion—faces are twisted, clothes ripple like wind. This isn’t a calm moment; it’s full of movement and tension. Next, look up woodcut to see how artists like Dürer made prints like this.
