This is a detail from the Heller Altarpiece, a famous work by German Renaissance painter Matthias Grünewald. Painted in 1511, the altarpiece depicts the crucifixion of Christ with intense realism and emotional power. This detail shows the expressive face of a woman, likely Mary, the mother of Jesus, as she witnesses the crucifixion. Grünewald’s use of color and light is masterful, and the detail reveals his meticulous attention to the textures of skin, hair, and fabric.
