The Stoning of Christ

Frühe Holzschnitte, ca. 1440/1450

This is a painting of an interior scene with two individuals and a third partially obscured by a doorway. The work has bold outlines and flat areas of color. The figures wear vibrant clothes in red and blue and stand on a green checkered floor. The setting appears enclosed, with an architectural archway framing the action. The style resembles medieval woodcut illustrations, known for strong lines, limited perspective, and direct storytelling. The scene is rich in color and detailed, with intricate clothing and facial expressions on the central figures.
