Christ on the Cross with Three Angels
by DÜRER, Albrecht, Woodcut, 39 x 28 cm
The first state, the lower part absent, is rare (Berlin, Bremen, Gotha, Stuttgart, Vienna). The second state has the lower angel added in a rough style. Two editions are known from the enlarged block, with prayers in 32 and 24 lines, as indulgences. The big, but somewhat empty design , and particularly the type of the angels which often occurs in the heads of the proportion studies, are characteristics which indicate the years 1523-25.
