From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Crucifixion is a 1480 paint by Netherlandish 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a scene of Jesus on the cross, surrounded by people. Jesus is in the center, with his arms outstretched and his body leaning to one side. He has a crown of thorns on his head and a cloth wrapped around his waist. There are several people around him, including a woman kneeling at the base of the cross and a man standing next to her. The background is a simple landscape with a few trees and hills. The painting is done in a style that is typical of the Renaissance period, with detailed lines and shading. The colors are muted, with shades of brown and green dominating the palette. The overall effect is one of somberness and reverence.
