1507
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Christ as the Man of Sorrows is a 1507 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, depicting Crucifix, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows Christ as a sad figure, with his hands bound. It's a woodcut, which is an old printing technique. The colors used are simple, but they work well together, and the fact that it's hand-colored makes it special because it's one of the few woodcuts from this time that still has its original colors. You can learn more about this kind of art by looking into the technique: woodcut.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
