Christ on the Cross 15th century

This 15th century anonymous artwork, "Christ on the Cross," is a powerful image of the crucifixion of Jesus. The image depicts Jesus on the cross, with the Virgin Mary and John the Evangelist flanking him. The scene is set against a backdrop of a blue sky with clouds, and the ground is depicted in yellow. The painting is framed by an elaborate border of vines, leaves, and small figures. This work is characteristic of the devotional art of the late Middle Ages and is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
