Description: | Signed: yes Description: This Head of Christ painted on wood clearly is a pastiche of two important paintings by Albrecht Dürer, the Self-Portrait with a Fur, dated 1500, conserved in the Alte Pinacothek at Munich, and a lost Head of Christ Crowned with Thorns, dated 1514, to which the inscription in the upper left of the painting refers. The head of Christ wearing the crown of thorns is shown in the manner of the holy shroud. A later imitator, probably about 1600, appears to have tried to reinvent a religious subject common in sixteenth-century Northern European painting. | Subjects: | religion (Passion of Christ) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Dürer, Albrecht (German printmaker and painter, 1471-1528) Æ Imitator of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8807... | Go to resource |
