With an original size of 129 x 117 cm, this painting represents a crucial moment in the history of the crucifixion of Christ.

The artistic style of this work is part of the late Gothic, characterized by its detail and realism.

The history of this painting is little known, giving it an aura of mystery and fascination. Although the identity of the artist is unknown, his talent and skill are evident in every brushstroke. The painting was probably part of an altarpiece, a decorative structure common in medieval and Renaissance times, used to adorn church altars.
