Dz ist ein erschrockenliche History von fünff schönden Juden, wie sie das Bild Marie verspottet und durchstochen haben

Gengenbach, Pamphilus · 1516 · [Pamphilus Gegenbach] · 2 pictures

A 1516 German woodcut pamphlet by Pamphilus Gengenbach, printed for a popular readership, telling of five wicked Jews who mocked and pierced an image of Mary. The pictures are black-and-white woodcuts with dense hatching, showing armed men in a church interior surrounding a seated Madonna in a halo, with a monk in a hooded robe at the right; a designer could take their bold line work, crowded narrative staging, and gothic architectural framing as models for woodcut-style graphics.
