# Crucifixion [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LEYDEN, Lucas van]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Engraving, 283 x 413 mm ## Commentary In this large panoramic Crucifixion, the Calvary group is set off to the left on a high hill in the middle distance. The Crucifixion group follows the traditional historiated type, with the mourners to the left of the cross, the centurion Longinus plunging his lance into Christ's side, the Magdalen clutching the foot of the cross, and two thieves to the sides. The other actors in the drama have been scattered down the hillside among the townspeople. ## Related artworks - [Abraham and Isaac on Their Way to the Place of Sacrifice]() - [Adam and Eve \(Expulsion from the Paradise\)]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Cain Killing Abel]() - [Cain Killing Abel]() - [Card Players]() - [Card Players]() - [Card Players]() - [Christ Healing the Blind \(detail\)]() - [Christ Healing the Blind]() - [Dance of Mary Magdalen]() - [David Playing the Harp before Saul]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
