Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Our Lord as Exemplified in Works of Art, Vol. 2 of 2: With That of His Types; St. John
The series of the Passion properly begins, like the plays, with the Entry into Jerusalem, and ends with the Descent of the Holy Ghost, though some painters take up the subject at a later moment, and close it earlier. The number of designs in these series varies con siderably: Duccio has twenty-six; Albert Diirer, in one of his series, fifteen; Holbein, nine. We give a list of those by Duccio.
