Explore the The Antwerp Crucifixion of this artwork.
The Antwerp Crucifixion represents Christ crucified between two evil-doers, with Mary and John the Evangelist seated on the ground. The work shows a landscape typical of the Flemish school in the lower part; the well devised spatial disposition of the crosses in the upper half demonstrates a full knowledge of the innovative method of perspective known to  Italian art of the period. The Italian scholar Roberto Longhi asserted that the upper part was added several years later. At the bottom left the painter wrote his name on a scroll and the date: 1475.
