You see Jesus on a cross, with Mary and John on either side. Mary Magdalene kneels at the foot of the cross. Behind them, a walled city sits under a dark sky. This painting is from the early 1500s, but no one knows who made it. The faces and clothes are simple, almost like a sketch. The dark background makes the figures stand out, even though the paint is thin. To see more works like this, visit the Rijksmuseum.
