This engraving, created by the Monogrammist DS between 1500 and 1520, depicts the traditional scene of Christ's crucifixion with Mary and John. The artwork uses a detailed, linear style characteristic of the Northern Renaissance. The inclusion of skulls and bones at the base of the cross emphasizes the theme of mortality and death. This devotional image, likely intended for private meditation, serves as a powerful reminder of Christ's sacrifice and the spiritual significance of his death.
