Description: | This is a typical composition from the early sixteenth-century South German school. The image brings together various iconographic elements commonly found in Passion images north of the Alps throughout the fifteenth century; the crucified Christ flanked by the contorted bodies of the thieves, Mary Magdalene's arms thrown around the base of the cross, the death-like swoon of the Virgin, and in the foreground a skull and bones marking Golgotha. | Subjects: | religion (Crucifixion) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: German School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8373... | Go to resource |
