Painted on wood during the 14th century, this trecento artwork measures 0.3 x 0.2 meters and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

The painting exudes an air of solemnity as it portrays the ordeal and passion that Jesus endured for humanity's salvation. Set against a striking gold background, this religious tableau features various figures from Christian lore. The Virgin Mary stands prominently, her heart filled with anguish as she witnesses her son's suffering. Saint Mary Magdalene gazes upon Jesus with deep devotion while clutching a dagger symbolic of her repentance.

From the delicate folds of fabric to the expressive faces and gestures of each character, every element contributes to creating an emotionally charged composition. Beyond its artistic merits, this painting serves as a powerful reminder of faith and sacrifice within Catholicism. It invites viewers to reflect on their own beliefs and contemplate the profound significance behind Christ's crucifixion.
