Dürer’s Christ

This sketch is the one hundred and thirteenth in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…

Day one hundred and thirteen: My brother, grandmother, aunt, and I went to an Easter vigil at church this evening. Hearing the story of Christ’s resurrection reminded me of a woodcut version of the scene in Albrecht Dürer’s “Large Passion” series. Today’s sketch is based on a detail of his glorious figure of Christ, made in 1510. Imitating Dürer’s lines helped me appreciate his phenomenal artistry.
