The Crucifixion
Artist: Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen
1500

In this Netherlandish depiction of the crucifixion, there is equal emphasis on the surrounding landscape and figures flanking the figure of Christ in the foreground, who are shown wearing contemporary dress. A woman with long red hair, Mary Magdalene, can be seen praying at Christ's feet.
A Dutch artist based in Amsterdam, Jacob Cornelisz van Oostanen (c.1475–1533) was later influenced by his contemporary Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528).
The Crucifixion
Artist: Cimabue
1270
Painting
One of Cimabue's earliest works, this large size crucifix was commissioned by the Dominican order for the Basilica of San Domenico in Arezzo. It depicts Christ on the cross at the height of his suffering and in the throes of death. Christ's body is contorted and slumped turning to the left, his eyes are nearly closed, and his brow is furrowed, conveying to the viewer the agony of his crucifixion.
this work is Tempera and gold on wood and is in the Basilica of San Domenico, Arezzo
