This painting shows a crowded scene of people around a crucifixion. The central figure is nailed to a cross, with two angels above holding a banner. Below, a group of people in red robes and gold halos watch, some with hands clasped. One person in armor kneels, holding a shield with a cross. The colors are flat with little shading, and the figures stand out against a dark background. The gold halos and red robes draw your eye to the most important people. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this painting’s lighting compares to other styles.
