Christ crucified between Mary and John the Evangelist and the saints Adolphus and Ambrosius is a 1490 unspecified by Unknown, a Northern Renaissance work, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
This painting shows Jesus Christ on the cross, with four saints standing around him. Jesus has long hair and a crown of thorns, and his arms are outstretched. The saints are dressed in colorful robes, with intricate designs and patterns. The background of the painting is a landscape with rolling hills, trees, and a blue sky. The overall mood of the painting is one of reverence and contemplation, with the saints gazing up at Jesus with a mix of sadness and devotion. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, with the figures and objects in the foreground standing out against the softer, more muted background.
