Crucifixion before 1502

This woodcut, created by Lucas Cranach the Elder before 1502, depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Central to the composition is the figure of Jesus on the cross, flanked by the two thieves. The scene is packed with detail, including grieving women, soldiers on horseback, and a skull at the base of the cross. The artist's meticulous style and dramatic use of line create a powerful and moving image that speaks to the enduring power of the Crucifixion story.
