The Passion: Christ Crucified

Hieronymus Wierix

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white engraving of a crucified man with a crown of thorns on his head. The man is shirtless, wearing a loincloth and nailed to a cross. His arms are stretched out to his sides and nailed to the horizontal beam. A crowd of people surrounds him, some are dressed as Roman soldiers with spears, helmets, and shields, while others appear to be civilians. The civilians are dressed in long robes. The background is dark and shadowy. At the bottom of the image, there is a block of text written in Latin.
