The Man of Sorrows

1444-46
Wood
Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Birmingham

This Man of Sorrows with the angels of the Last Judgment is a direct precursor of the Man of Sorrows (after 1490, Christian Museum, Esztergom). A stereoscopic effect is created in both works by the figure of Christ appearing in front of the angels who push aside the curtain.
