According to Dr. Willi Kurth, The Complete Woodcuts of Albrecht Durer, privately printed., Durer considered the passion to be most worthy of representation in pictorial art, portraying it five different times during his life. Durer made seven of the twelve woodcuts of his Large Passion cycle between 1497 and 1500. The last four woodcuts and title page were completed in 1510-1511. They include: The Last Supper (B. 5), The Arrest of Christ (B. 7), Christ Descending into Limbo (B. 14) and The Resurrection (B. 15); and, the title page, The Sorrow of Man (B. 4) was completed in 1511. All twelve of the woodblocks were acquired by the British Museum in 1895. The Latin edition was first produced in 1498 and again in 1511. It was for the second edition in 1511 when the Large Passion and the Life of a Virgin were printed in this combined edition with a the new frontispiece.
