The Sacred Monograph with the Crucifixion and Passion Symbols [recto] is a 1470 paint by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a strange, blocky design with four small scenes. At the top, a man is nailed to a cross. Two figures stand beside him—one holds a spear, the other a jar. Below, a circle with a cross inside sits on a bed of leaves and flames. The whole thing looks like it was cut from metal and then painted by hand. The colors are faded but still pop in green, yellow, and pink. The text around the edges is in Latin, but it’s hard to read. Want to know more? Look up German 15th Century artists next.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
