EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the title page of Albrecht Durer's renowned series, The Great Passion, created in 1510. The image depicts a powerful scene from Christianity's most significant event - the crucifixion of Christ. In the foreground, a Roman soldier can be seen cruelly mocking Jesus, while above him is the artist's name written in Latin. Below this haunting portrayal lies a poignant poem that berates mankind for its sins. The woodcut technique used by Durer brings an exquisite level of detail to this monochrome masterpiece. Every line and contour tells a story of faith and devotion. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to 16th century Germany, where religious fervor was at its peak. In this outdoor setting, men gather around as they witness this pivotal moment in history unfold before their eyes. Their hands clasped together in prayerful contemplation demonstrate their deep connection with their Christian beliefs. Albrecht Durer's talent shines through his skillful rendering of light and shadow on each figure present in the composition. This print serves as a testament to his artistic prowess and unwavering commitment to capturing profound religious themes. As we delve into the pages of Wilhelm Waetzoldt's publication "Durer und Seine Zeit" published in 1936 during World War II era Germany, we gain further insight into both Durer's life and his impact on art history.
