Kreuzigung

Deutsche Grafik 1483–1490, 1483

This is a painting of a crucifixion scene with surrounding figures. The artwork depicts a central figure on a wooden cross, with two figures standing on either side. The figure on the cross is portrayed with head inclined to one side and arms outstretched. The cross stands on a rocky ground, with a skull at its base. To the left, a cloaked figure in a draped blue garment appears in a solemn posture, while a figure on the right is dressed in earth-toned robes. The background consists of serene sky-blue and lighter tones. The use of bold outlines and delicate shading gives a sense of texture and form.
