EDITORS COMMENTS
This triptych panel, dating back to the early 16th century, showcases the Crucifixion scene in exquisite detail. Created by an unknown artist, this French masterpiece is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Middle Ages. The central panel depicts Christ on the Cross at Golgotha, surrounded by a vibrant array of colors that bring life to the scene. The rich blues and greens create a striking contrast against the golden hues that adorn both Jesus and his crucified companions. Every brushstroke reveals meticulous attention to detail, from the intricate enamel work on their garments to the delicate expressions on their faces. Flanking either side of Christ are two figures - St. Longinus with his spear and Stephaton offering vinegar-soaked sponge - adding depth and symbolism to this religious tableau. Horses graze peacefully in the background while various animals roam freely nearby. This triptych panel serves as an important artifact of medieval Christianity, showcasing not only its religious significance but also its influence on decorative arts during this period. Its copper base adds durability and longevity to this remarkable piece. Currently housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, it stands as a testament to our cultural heritage and offers viewers an opportunity for reflection upon one of Christianity's most significant events – The Crucifixion.
