Der Schmerzensmann an der Säule

Unknown artist

Decades after Dürer’s death, the artist made a reciprocal and reduced to the main section copy of his copper engraving “Der Schnte ensmann an der nte” from 1509, which is commonly considered the title page of the copper engraving Passion that has been made over years. Here, too, the already crucified Christ with his arms crossed in front of his chest is at the center, the marterpost in his back. The tools of suffering and his wounds point to the passage process, while a roundel window directs the viewer’s view of the three crosses on Golgotha Hill. Below are John and Mary and look prayerfully towards the Savior. Instead of the Dürer monogram and dating, characters and dating of the copyist are integrated into the representation.
