Arrest of Christ

Albrecht Dürer.
Passio domini nostri Jesu, ex Hieronymo Paduano, Dominico Mancino, Sedulio, et Baptista Mantuano, per fratrem Chelidonium collecta, cum figuris Alberti Dureri Norici Pictoris.
Nuremberg: Albrecht Dürer, 1511. (11011)

One of Dürer’s most dynamic compositions, the nocturnal scene of the Arrest of Christ, is a visual tug-of-war that pulls the eye in various directions away from the central void.
