Description

The original Passion Series is a famous collection of engravings, finished in 1521 by the great northern Renaissance painter and engraver Lucas van Leyden (1489/94–1533). This version, however, contains a history as tangled as the branches depicted on its cover. Despite appearing to be an exact copy of the original, it is actually an early 17th-century reproduction done by a similarly talented Dutch artist named Jan Harmensz. Muller.
