Dürer mentions this engraving in his diary of the journey to the Netherlands on two occasions, August 19 and August 20, 1520, when he gave copies away as presents. He refers to it as "Veronicam." It is one of the very few Dürer engravings in horizontal format. It is the crowning representation of the Passion series. The new face of Christ, created by Dürer, appears here in its purest form.
