Commentary
Around 1509, while he was still completing the Great Passion, Dürer began his most extensive series of the passions of Christ, The Small Passion, which includes 37 woodcuts. The series was published as a book; each plate is accompanied by a narrative-descriptive text composed by Dürer's friend, the humanist cleric Benedictus Chelidonius.
Christ is shown without a halo, so as not to be distinguishable from his own disciples: he is simply a human being, lovingly humble, serving his fellow men. This aspect is reinforced by the verses of Chelidonius engraved on the reverse, which reiterate the importance of humility and love.
