Crucifixion

About this work

This painting depicts a scene of the Crucifixion, with a figure in the foreground holding a staff adorned with a flower. The staff is gold, and the figure wears a red robe over a black tunic. In the background, there is a landscape with buildings and hills. The painting is quite worn and faded, with visible cracks and peeling paint. A closer look reveals the intricate details of the staff, which appears to be made of gold with a flower at its center. The figure's robe is also noteworthy, with its vibrant red color standing out against the muted tones of the background. The Groeningemuseum is home to this painting, which showcases the artist's skillful use of color and composition.
