In 1624, Hendrick ter Brugghen painted this solemn scene of crucifixion with the Virgin and Saint John. The Dutch master working in Utrecht captured a profound moment of grief and devotion. Oil on canvas, nearly five feet tall, it arrived at The Met through the generosity of multiple donors in 1956. Discover how ter Brugghen rendered this eternal subject with intimate emotional power.
