This painting, created by an anonymous artist in the mid-15th century, is a triptych, a type of artwork consisting of three panels. The central panel depicts the Crucifixion of Saint Peter, with a donor kneeling in prayer at the bottom left, while the right panel portrays the Legend of Saint Anthony Abbot, with a second donor. The left panel, featuring the Annunciation, is not pictured. These types of works, popular in the Northern Renaissance, often feature elaborate detail and realistic depictions of religious scenes and figures, emphasizing the importance of piety and devotion. The painting's landscape background with its intricate details, is typical of the period and suggests the artist's attention to naturalism.
