The Round Passion

Lucas van Leyden

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Round Passion by Lucas van Leyden: A circular black-and-white drawing of a religious scene with a decorative border featuring leaves and human figures. In the center, Jesus Christ lies on the ground in a landscape with trees, hills, and a distant building; he wears a long robe and his head rests on a cloth; several other figures are present. The border is ornate with detailed carvings of leaves, flowers, and human figures, including some nude children. The year 1509 is visible on a banner at the top. The entire scene is set against a beige background.
