"The Crucifixion and St. Christopher" is a 15th-century woodblock print, created between 1475 and 1482 by an anonymous artist. The print depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, with St. Christopher flanking the cross. The composition is dense, with figures in various poses and a sense of depth created through the use of perspective. The print is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This work is an excellent example of the use of woodcut in religious art, showcasing the strong outlines and stark contrasts characteristic of the medium. The print's anonymous creation adds a layer of mystery and intrigue to its significance in art history.
