Maestrul lui „Ecce homo” din Augsburg

Maestrul lui „Ecce homo” din Augsburg is a Byzantine icon painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Museum of Art of Romania.

This anonymous painter from late medieval Augsburg made scenes of Christ’s suffering in sharp, angular folds of color. Look at *Christos purtând crucea* to see the moment Jesus carries his cross, the figures pressed into jagged reds and browns that feel almost carved. After you’ve seen that sharp, nervous style, tap the same work again to zoom in on the way every crease in the cloth becomes a tiny arrow pointing toward the cross.
