Légende

The crucifixion: small plate, c.1635. Presenting the viewer with a sensitive interpretation of Christ on the Cross, close attention has been paid to the intricate features on the figures. Creating a solemn and reflective scene, the figures surrounding Christ are placed in the lower area of the image, giving this work weight and depth. The line work is intricately hatched throughout the image with highly developed areas on the back of the standing figure and on Christ. The overlapping figures interweave between one another, presenting a rhythmic quality to the image. The swooning figure of the devastated Virgin Mary at lower left enhances the powerful emotion of the tragic scene.
