Christ Bearing the Cross

 
I think Martin Schongauer works with engraving is really fascinating the way he engraves all those intricate details in metal must take alot of skill. You would have to have steady hands and the patience of Job to accomplish such a feat. Also you would have to get it right the first time because once you mess up you would have to scrap the whole thing and start it all over again.

This piece is called: Christ Bearing the Cross by Martin Schongauer

    This has such a different feel than St. Anthony and the Demons. This piece has such a crowded space with every inch covered in characters. There is so much to look at.
