The work is a fine example of Northern Renaissance art, with its intricate details and realistic portrayal of figures and landscapes. The work's central panel, and its surrounding panels, depict the emotional and spiritual impact of Christ's sacrifice. The work is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
