A volume dedicated to Albrecht Dürer's series of woodcuts illustrating the Passion of Christ. An astonishing sixteenth-century demonstration of virtuosic printmaking Planned at the same time as his great Apocalypse , Dürer's series of woodcuts illustrating the Passion of Christ, produced between 1497 and 1510, is one of the summits of his art and an astonishing sixteenth-century demonstration of virtuosic printmaking. Dürer's meditation on the final moments of Jesus' story is both awe-inspiring and profoundly human.
