介绍（中）	《背负十字架的基督》是Schongauer最大、最具绘画风格的版画。这幅描绘基督前往各他国的游行的版画是艺术家视觉上最复杂的作品。他通过改变孵化的密度，创造了一系列从白色到灰色再到黑色的色调。在整个印刷过程中，他巧妙地抵消了明暗区域：例如，他将完全阴影化的人物放在右侧，与仅由轮廓描绘的风景相对，而左下角的男孩则几乎相反，他位于阴影地面的前面。Schongauer的灵感来自Jan van Eyck的一幅关于这一主题的画作，这幅画现在已经失传，只能通过复制品来了解，他同样创作了一幅充满异国人物生动刻画和偶然细节的图像。然而，他把整个游行队伍推到了前台，就像在宗教偶像中一样，他转头面对观众，强调人们对基督苦难的认同。
介绍（英）	The largest and most painterly of his prints, Christ Carrying the Cross is Schongauer's masterpiece. This engraving depicting Christ's procession to Golgotha is the artist's most visually complex. He created a spectrum of tones from white to gray to black by altering the density of the hatching. Throughout the print, he masterfully offset light and dark areas: for example, he placed the fully shaded figures on the right against a landscape delineated only by outlines and did almost the reverse with the boy in the lower left, situated in front of an area of shadowed ground. Schongauer was inspired by a painting of the subject by Jan van Eyck, now lost and known only through copies, and similarly created an image packed with lively characterizations of exotic figures and incidental detail. Yet he pushed the entire procession to the foreground and, as in devotional icons, he turned Christ's head to confront the viewer, emphasizing man's identification with Christ's suffering.
