Kruisiging van Christus 1628 - 1689

The "Kruisiging van Christus," an anonymous etching dating from 1628-1689, housed in the Rijksmuseum, portrays the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The scene is rendered with dramatic detail, featuring Christ on the cross with a crown of thorns and a sign reading "INRI." The image is framed by two angels and a figure at the foot of the cross, presumably Mary Magdalene, emphasizing the emotional intensity of the event. This print, measuring 440 mm in height and 328 mm in width, is a powerful example of religious art from the Dutch Golden Age.
