Christ on the cross flanked by the Virgin, Saint Brigit and Saint Elisabeth 1475 - 1485

This anonymous woodcut print from the late 15th century depicts Christ on the cross flanked by the Virgin Mary and two female saints, Saint Brigit and Saint Elizabeth. The image, likely a devotional object, was produced in Italy and is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection. The print is characterized by its stark contrasts of light and dark, with the figures of the Virgin and Saints taking center stage in their dramatic and expressive poses. The background is filled with stars and the image of a single radiant sun, symbolizing the divine and heavenly nature of the scene.
