Christ on the Cross c. 1490

This anonymous woodcut, likely created around 1490, depicts the traditional scene of Christ's crucifixion. The central figure of Jesus Christ hangs on the cross, while figures representing Mary and John the Evangelist stand below. The inscription "INRI", appearing above the cross, translates to "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews." This artwork, a prime example of religious art from the Late Middle Ages, showcases the artist's mastery in capturing the solemnity and pathos of the event through intricate details and striking composition.
