EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the centre panel of a Crucifixion triptych, painted in the 1490s by the enigmatic Master of the Virgo Inter Virgines. Measuring an impressive 218.8x196.3 cm, this oil on panel masterpiece is housed at The Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle, County Durham, UK. The scene depicted is one of profound grief and sorrow as it captures the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Calvary. The central figure of Christ hangs upon the cross, his body contorted in agony. To his left stands Mary Magdalene, her face etched with anguish as she witnesses her beloved savior's suffering. On either side of Christ are two thieves who share in his fate. One thief shows remorse for his actions while the other remains defiant until his last breath. This powerful portrayal reminds us of humanity's capacity for both redemption and resistance to change. In the background stands Virgin Mary, draped in mourning attire as tears stream down her face. Her presence adds to the overall sense of sorrow and loss that permeates this haunting composition. Masterfully executed with intricate details and vibrant colors, this painting by Master of the Virgo Inter Virgines invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as sacrifice, salvation, and human frailty. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst great suffering there can be moments of hope and transformation.
