Description
Man of Sorrows with Arms Outstretched presents Christ standing before a wooden support, his open hands revealing the wounds of the Passion. A crown of thorns rests on his head, and a skull and scourge lie near his feet. The lightly indicated ground leaves the exposed figure clearly visible, making his gesture the center of the composition.
Albrecht Dürer’s engraving turns suffering into a direct devotional encounter rather than a crowded historical scene. Fine lines model the torso and folded cloth, while the bowed head softens the otherwise frontal presentation. The open palms suggest both vulnerability and address, inviting attention to the body and expression without the distraction of spectators or a complex surrounding narrative.
