Single Miniature Excised from a Missal: The Crucifixion

Cleveland Museum of Art

The artwork depicts a scene of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Jesus is on the cross, with his arms outstretched, and his body pale and wounded. He has a halo around his head and a sign on the cross that reads "I.N.R.I." There are several people around the cross. On the left, a woman in a blue robe appears to faint. On the right, a man in a white and gold robe holds a cup. Some individuals wear halos. The background is blue with a pattern and features a sun and a moon. The border of the artwork is ornate, with gold accents and geometric designs. The artwork appears to be an illuminated manuscript page. The style is medieval.
