"Christ on the Cross with Angels" is a 15th-century miniature painting, likely from a manuscript, showcasing the traditional imagery of the crucifixion. It depicts Christ on the cross, with an inscription "INRI" above his head. The Virgin Mary and St. John are present, grieving, with angels flanking the cross, holding chalices to collect Christ's blood. The elaborate floral border and the skull at the foot of the cross reinforce the theme of sacrifice and resurrection. This miniature exemplifies the typical artistic conventions of the period, highlighting religious narratives with simple yet powerful imagery.
