Christ on the cross between the virgin and St. John

Hans Brosamer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image of a crucifixion scene. Christ is on the cross with his arms outstretched. He has a halo around his head and a crown of thorns on his head. His body is muscular and defined. There are two figures below him: a woman on the left with a halo around her head, wearing a long robe and a head covering; a man on the right with a halo, wearing a robe and barefoot. There are several cherubs and other figures in the background. There are three blocks of text in the image. The image has some Hebrew and Latin text. The image is bordered by a thin white frame. The artwork style and details suggest it was created in the Northern Renaissance period.
