Christ on the cross between Mary and John with a kneeling Dominican

Christ on the Cross between Mary and John with a kneeling Dominican from around 1443 was likely commissioned for a Dominican church or private devotion. The inclusion of a Dominican friar at the foot of the cross was a common feature in mendicant order commissions, personalizing the universal Crucifixion scene. Characteristic of the artist's mature approach, the work displays brilliant, jewel-like color, gold grounds, lyrical figure types of Gothic grace, perspectival experiments that create strange compressed spaces, intense narrative invention.

The intimate composition focuses on the relationship between the crucified Christ and the mourning figures below, with the Dominican's kneeling posture creating a devotional model for the viewer.
