The Crucifixion1605Engraving, 304 x 204 mm National Gallery of Art, Washington | |
This engraving was made after a painting by Matthias Grünewald. Sadeler's print was commissioned specifically as a reproduction. Comparison of Grünewald's painting with the engraving reveals adjustments to contemporary taste and style (the drapery, for example, has taken on volume, rhythm, and more elaborate folds). |
