Albrecht Dürer, Woodcut collection

This collection contains five woodcuts from Dürer's Small Passion. The Small Passion originally contained thirty-six woodcuts, plus a title page. The five woodcuts in this collection feature events in the life of Christ from the Gospels: the washing of Peter's feet (John 13:1-16), the crowning of thorns (Matthew 27:29; Mark 15:17; John 19:2), the resurrection (Luke 24:1-12; John 20:1-23), the meeting of the disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35), and the doubting Thomas episode (John 20:24-29). In the following list of prints, the German title is provided, followed by an English title, the reference numbers in Meder, Hollstein, Bartsch, and Strauss, as well as the size and date. Two additional woodcuts were added to this collection in 2018. This includes The Crucifixion, leaf 8 from the Large Woodcut Passion (Nuremberg, 1511) and a later impression (circa 1580-1600) of The Martyrdom of Saint Catherine (Nuremberg, 1498).
