1474
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Crucifixion is a 1474 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a crucifixion scene with Jesus on the cross, flanked by two figures. The figure on the left is dressed in white and blue, while the one on the right wears red and white. The background is a simple blue sky. A small detail catches the eye: the subtle use of watercolor wash to add depth to the scene. The artist's choice of medium adds a sense of delicacy to the otherwise somber scene. If you're interested in exploring more art from this period, you might want to check out the Renaissance movement.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
