Calvary and Christ in Majesty is a 1298 unspecified by Unknown, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting is a diptych, divided into two sections. The left side depicts a crucifixion scene with a cross, a haloed figure on the cross, and a woman in a headscarf on the left. A haloed man stands in the center, looking down, and a figure in a red robe is on the right. The right side features a large, circular frame with a haloed man in a red robe, holding a book and gesturing with his left hand. The background of both sections is gold. The painting's use of gold backgrounds and halos creates a sense of luxury and reverence. The figures are arranged in a way that draws the viewer's eye to the central figure on the cross. To learn more about the artist's technique, explore the use of chiaroscuro.
