The Crucifixion 1585 - 1595

This is a circular engraving by the Dutch artist Hendrick Goltzius, titled *The Crucifixion* and dated 1585-1595. It depicts a single figure, likely the apostle John, in the foreground, with his back turned to the viewer, looking at the crucifixion of Christ in the distance. Goltzius was a prominent engraver of the late Renaissance, known for his mastery of detail and his ability to create convincing illusions of depth and texture. This print is a good example of Goltzius’s work, showing his skill in depicting the human form and the dramatic composition of a scene.
