Albrecht Bouts - Jesus at Simon the Pharisee

Hans Baldung Grien’s "The Crucifixion of Christ" is a 1.5 meters high panel in oil on wood. Christ’s cross dominates the center, flanked by the two thieves, while a tightly packed crowd in contemporary Renaissance dress presses in below. Baldung, one of the most important German Renaissance painters and the most gifted pupil of Albrecht Dürer, uses this familiar subject to show how far Northern art has moved toward a new, powerfully individual style.

Lucas Cranach the Elder has the three Graces standing on barren ground with no landscape so the only focus can be the three Graces.
