The Crucifixion

Wolf Huber

National Gallery of Art

This is an image of a biblical scene. The scene shows a central figure nailed to a cross, with rays of light coming from the clouds above. Below the cross, two figures stand with expressions and postures indicating lamentation or reverence. The background includes rolling hills and rugged terrain. The image is drawn in delicate lines with attention to texture and details in garments and landscape. The composition is balanced with the crucifix on the right and the other figures and landscape filling the rest of the frame.
