Plint van de Kruisiging: c. 1475 - 1477

"Plint van de Kruisiging", a wooden sculpture by Adriaen van Wesel dating back to 1475-1477, is a fragment of a larger work. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a portion of the cross, elaborately carved with detailed texture reminiscent of tree bark, highlighting the symbolic connection to Christ's sacrifice. Its small size, measuring only 29 cm in height, suggests its intended use as part of a larger altarpiece or devotional piece. The fragment provides insight into the craftsmanship and detail characteristic of van Wesel's work during this period.
