GOES, Hugo van der
(b. ca. 1440, Ghent, d. 1482, Bruxelles)

Crucifixion

c. 1470
Oil on panel
Museo Correr, Venice

This painting shows great psychological insight in its expression of intense grief, a typical feature of Hugo van der Goes' tormented art. The relation between figures and the landscape setting increases the dramatic intensity of the episode.
