Christ as man of sorrows is a 1515 oil by Lucas Cranach the Elder, a Northern Renaissance work, depicting Jesus Christ, held at Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.
This painting depicts Jesus Christ, bound to a wooden post, wearing a crown of thorns. His white loincloth is stained with blood, and he looks up with a solemn expression. In the background, a group of people, including a woman in a blue robe and a white headscarf, gaze up at him with concern. The scene is set against a dark wall with a window, and the overall mood is one of somber reverence. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figure.
