Crucifixion 1500

Jan Provoost's "Crucifixion" (c. 1500) depicts a dramatic scene of Christ's crucifixion. The central figure of Christ is prominently displayed against a background of a bustling town, emphasizing the public nature of his suffering. The figures of the Virgin Mary, John the Evangelist, and other mourners are gathered below, while soldiers and onlookers fill the scene. The artwork's vivid colors and detailed figures are characteristic of the Northern Renaissance style.
