1480
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
The Crucifixion is a 1480 ink by Martin Schongauer, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows Jesus on the cross, with people around him. It's a somber scene. The details in this work are interesting because the artist used a lot of lines to create texture and depth, which was a new technique at the time. This attention to detail makes the scene feel more realistic. To learn more about this style, look up the technique: engraving.
Martin Schongauer, also known as Martin Schön or Hübsch Martin by his contemporaries, was an Alsatian engraver and painter.
