1500

From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Cross is a 1500 ink by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, depicting Latin Cross, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a cross in the center, colored in red, pink, and yellow. It's a simple yet powerful image. The use of color is interesting, with the cross standing out against a plain background, and the hand-coloring gives it a personal touch, which was a common practice in woodcuts from this time. To learn more about this style, look at the technique: woodcut.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
