Dürer made two small-scale Passion print series, which demonstrate the diverse pictorial and expressive potentials of the woodcut and engraving techniques. In both depictions, Dürer adhered to the convention of combining Jesus’s betrayal and arrest into one scene. He also inserted an incident involving another disciple: Simon Peter cuts off the ear of Malchus, shown holding a lantern, in an attempt to prevent Jesus’s arrest. Although the tonal effects achieved in the engraving are more refined than those in the woodcut, Dürer departed from tradition in both works by delineating the darkness of the sky, which earlier northern printmakers had left blank. </P></SPAN>","remarks":"K2 paper rotation--In the Dark"}],"media":[{"id":100795,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/INV25519","isprimary":1,"rank":1,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Inventory Project"}],"hasimage":"true","bibliography":[{"boilertext":"<P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: \"Arial\",sans-serif; LINE-HEIGHT: 107%'>Campbell Dodgson, <EM>Albrecht Dürer</EM> (London: Medici Society, 1926).&nbsp;</SPAN></P>","citation":"<P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: \"Arial\",sans-serif; LINE-HEIGHT: 107%'>Campbell Dodgson, <EM>Albrecht Dürer</EM> (London: Medici Society, 1926).&nbsp;</SPAN></P>, no. 51","date":1926,"id":6211,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/title/3338518"},{"boilertext":"<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style='line-height: 107%; font-family: \"Arial\",sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;'>Sylvester Rosa Koehler, <em>A Chronological Catalogue of the Engravings, Dry-points and Etchings of Albert Dürer, as Exhibited at the Grolier Club</em> (New York: The Grolier Club, 1897).<!--?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" /--><o:p></o:p></span></p>","citation":"<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style='line-height: 107%; font-family: \"Arial\",sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;'>Sylvester Rosa Koehler, <em>A Chronological Catalogue of the Engravings, Dry-points and Etchings of Albert Dürer, as Exhibited at the Grolier Club</em> (New York: The Grolier Club, 1897).<!--?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" /--><o:p></o:p></span></p>, no. 48, p. 50","date":1897,"id":6212,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/title/2526962"},{"boilertext":"<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style='line-height: 107%; font-family: \"Arial\",sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;'>Rainer Schoch, Matthias Mende, and Anna Scherbaum, Albrecht Dürer: das druckgraphische Werk (München: Prestel, 2001).<!--?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" /--><o:p></o:p></span></p>","citation":"<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style='line-height: 107%; font-family: \"Arial\",sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;'>Rainer Schoch, Matthias Mende, and Anna Scherbaum, Albrecht Dürer: das druckgraphische Werk (München: Prestel, 2001).<!--?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" /--><o:p></o:p></span></p>, no. 47","date":2001,"id":6213,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/title/46853856"},{"boilertext":"<SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: \"Arial\",sans-serif; LINE-HEIGHT: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA'>Erwin Panofsky, <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">Albrecht Dürer</I> (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1945).</SPAN>","citation":"<SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: \"Arial\",sans-serif; LINE-HEIGHT: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA'>Erwin Panofsky, <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">Albrecht Dürer</I> (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1945).</SPAN>","date":1945,"id":6214,"uri":"https://search.worldcat.org/title/7184939"},{"boilertext":"<SPAN style='FONT-SIZE: 9pt; FONT-FAMILY: \"Arial\",sans-serif; LINE-HEIGHT: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA'>Arthur Mayger Hind, <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">Albrecht Dürer: his engravings and woodcuts</I> (New York: Frederick A.
