Christ on the Cross before 1470

This anonymous woodcut, titled "Christ on the Cross", was created before 1470. The artwork depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, flanked by the Virgin Mary and John the Evangelist. The scene is rendered in a simple, linear style, typical of early woodcuts. Mary is shown in prayer while John holds a book, symbolizing his role as a witness and recorder of Christ's teachings. The artwork, executed in vibrant colors, illustrates the central theme of Christian faith: Christ's sacrifice for humanity's salvation.
