DescriptionSpätgotik exhibition Albrecht Dürer Man of Sorrows 9862.jpg
English: Albrecht Dürer
(1471 Nuremberg-1528 ibid.). Christ as the Man of Sorrows, around 1493/94. Mixed media on softwood. The back of the Man of Sorrows shows a marbling, an imitation of a noble stone material that has long been used in painting. However, Dürer has given it a very unusual colourfulness and liveliness, so that it does not appear as a mere decoration, but like a picture of its own.
Deutsch: Albrecht Dürer
(1471 Nürnberg-1528 ebd.). Christus als Schmerzensmann, um 1493/94. Mischtechnik auf Nadelholz. Die Rückseite des Schmerzensmannes zeigt eine Marmorierung, eine in der Malerei schon lange gebräuchliche Imitation eines edlen Steinmaterials. Dürer hat ihr jedoch eine Höchst ungewöhnlichen Farbigkeit und Lebendigkeit verliehen, so dass sie nicht als bloße Dekoration, sondern wie ein eigenes Bild erscheint.
