This anonymous 15th-century artwork, "Christ on the Cross," depicts a traditional scene of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The painting showcases Christ on the cross, flanked by Mary, his mother, and John the Evangelist, who are both in prayer. Two angels are positioned above Christ, catching his blood in chalices. The image is a testament to the prevalent religious themes in art during the late Middle Ages, focusing on the suffering and sacrifice of Christ for the sins of humanity. The painting is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
