La Crucifixión con la Virgen y San Juan

ca. 1624–25
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 621
Este retablo, pintado hacia 1624–1625, probablemente estaba destinado a una iglesia católica de Utrecht, ciudad donde se toleraba pero no se fomentaba el catolicismo, y reemplazaba a una obra anterior que había sido dañada o destruida. Su estilo arcaizante, aparente en detalles como la figura angular del Cristo, la poca profundidad del espacio y el cielo estrellado, nos recuerda las xilografías del gótico tardío, los grabados de Durero, y el retablo de Isenheim de Matthias Grünewald, ahora en Colmar, Francia. El cielo, pintado con un pigmento poco duradero (smalt), era originalmente más azul.
