The Passion: The Agony in the Garden, by Martin Schongauer, c. 1480
The Crucifixion, by Sodoma, 1500s
A work made of oil on panel.
Dead Blue Roller, by Hans Hoffmann, 1583
A work made of tempera on canvas.
This is a drawing of two armored figures on horseback engaged in a joust. Both knights are clad in ornate armor and mounted on horses as they participate in the match. The scene captures the moment of impact, with splintered lances flying in the air. One knight in silver armor with blue accents is being unseated from his horse, while the other knight in red and silver armor remains mounted. Both horses are draped in colors matching their riders' armors. The focus is on the dynamic action and energy of the joust, with fine details showing the armor's shine and the movement of the horses. The drawing is bordered, and there is some script at the top and bottom.
A work made of pen and brown ink and brush and brown wash, on tan laid paper, laid down on tan laid card.
Arm of Eve, by Albrecht Dürer, 1507
