Christ's Entry into Jerusalem

About this work

This woodcut shows a group of people gathered around a central figure with a halo. Some are kneeling, others stand with hands raised or holding branches. In the background, a small town sits on a hill, with a cross on top. The lines are sharp and the scene feels busy, with light streaming down from above. The artist used simple shapes and strong outlines to tell a story. The halos mark holy figures, and the branches suggest a celebration. Next, look up the technique: woodcut to see how artists like Denanto carved these images.
