This woodcut belongs to Dürer’s <I>Large Passion </I>series, which he completed in 1510 and published in book form the following year. In this contemplative scene, the horrific sight of Christ’s broken and lifeless body inspires dramatic gestures and sorrowful expressions in the figures and also in nature: the swooping birds and sinuous branches of the dead tree become evocative metaphors of the mourners’ grief.</P></SPAN>","remarks":"K1-3RotationMar2015.pdf"}],"media":[{"id":101299,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/INV26230","isprimary":1,"rank":1,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Inventory Project"},{"id":2454,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/x1957-144_GS","isprimary":0,"rank":10,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"Luna Digitization 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. 20, p. 274","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;'>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. 162","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>, p. 305","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.
