Crucified Crucifixion Grieving Mourner Mourners Panel Passion Triptych
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Vrancke van der Stockt's masterpiece, "Christ on the Cross, with the Virgin Mary and Saint John". The central panel from the Redemption Triptych, painted around 1460, showcases a profound scene of crucifixion. Under an intricately designed Gothic archway with delicate tracery leading to a church, we witness Christ's sacrifice for humanity. The immense size of this artwork (195 x 326 cm) allows us to immerse ourselves in its emotional depth. The figures of the Virgin Mary and Saint John stand beneath Christ on the cross, consumed by grief and mourning. Their expressions convey their deep sorrow as they witness this pivotal moment in Christian history. The architectural details within this piece are remarkable. The artist skillfully incorporates elements such as archivolts depicting different passages from Christ's Passion and side scenes illustrating sacraments. These additions enhance our understanding of Jesus' life while adding visual interest to the composition. Originally attributed to Rogier van der Weyden but now recognized as Van der Stockt's work, this triptych holds historical significance beyond its artistic merit. It once belonged to Leonor Mascarenas, governess of King Philip II during the 16th century. She generously gifted it to Convento de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles which she founded. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image captured by www. bridgemanart. com, we cannot help but be moved by its power and beauty. It serves as a timeless reminder of Christ's ultimate sacrifice and his enduring presence in our lives today.
