The Crucifixion, 1503 (also Lamentation Beneath the Cross (Klage unter dem Kreuz)
The Crucifixion is Cranach’s first large altar painting. It is an impressive demonstration of the thirty-one-year-old’s creative genius and expressive temperament. The figures found in traditional compositions of this subject have been rearranged to focus on the Virgin Mary who Cranach presents as a paradigm of piety, showing her devotion and pain at the sight of her son’s suffering.
