BALDUNG GRIEN, Hans
(b. 1484/85, Schwäbisch-Gmünd, d. 1545, Strasbourg)

Crucifixion

1512
Linden panel, 152 x 104 cm
Staatliche Museen, Berlin

In this impressive panel by Baldung even the wood of the crosses seems cruelly alive. The bad Thief's body is still tied to his tree, one tormented foot visible just above the Magdalen's head.
