The Crucifixion

Jacob Cornelisz van Oostsanen (before 1470 – 1533) was a Northern Netherlandish designer of woodcuts and painter. He was one of the first important artists working in Amsterdam, at a time when it was a flourishing and beautiful provincial town. 

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).
