À propos de la sculpture
This relief probably once formed part of a Passion cycle (the events surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus Christ). Here the armed mob in the background is coming to arrest Jesus. The carved stone scene would have been set into an altarpiece that stood on or behind the altar of a Christian church.
The composition is based on one of the woodcuts in the Small Passion series by the German artist Albrecht Dürer. These were printed and published in 1511. However, this design involves slight alterations to the soldier's armour and the later addition of the armed half-length figure.
