Summary[edit]

Description
English: Man of Sorrows from the main Prague Utraquist Church of Our Lady before Teyn. It is one of the crucial artistic works of the Bohemian Reformation of the 15th century. Christ in agony with the crown of thorns touches the wound in his left flank, from which he takes a host (the Lord's body) while the blood from his wounds flows into a chalice. It emphasizes the Eucharistic significance of Christ's redeeming sacrifice. The chalice - symbol of the Hussites - clearly demonstrates the practice of the Bohemian Reformation to receive the Holy Communion under both kinds (not only bread but also wine).
Čeština: Eucharistický Bolestný Kristus jako oběť pod obojí způsobou. Jedna z nejvýznamnějších památek umění české reformace 15. století. Kristus se naléhavým pohledem dívá směrem k divákovi. V levé ruce drží kalich - symbol české reformace -, do nějž zachycuje svou krev ("dals krev z těla vycediti, dáváš k užitku ji píti, chtě nás tudy obživiti" - úryvek z husitské písně Jezu Kriste, štědrý kněže spojující stejně jako tento obraz Kristovu oběť s eucharistií pod obojí). Pravou rukou vytahuje z rány v boku hostii. Krista v pozadí podpírají andělé, odění do kněžských rouch, rukama ovinutýma v plátně, podobně jako když kněz drží monstranci s hostií. Obraz byl zhotoven asi kolem roku 1470 pro Týnský chrám v Praze.
