This anonymous 15th-century painting, titled "Christ on a Goldsmith’s Cross," showcases the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in a highly detailed and symbolic manner. The central figure of Christ is depicted on a cross with a green, stylized stem, surrounded by angels, and a representation of the sun and moon above. The painting is an example of the late Gothic period and the artist's use of intricate detail and symbolism reveals the deep religious beliefs of the time. The painting currently resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
