The crucifixion, Jacob Cornelisz. van Oostsanen, ca. 1507 - ca. 1510
For his depiction of Golgotha, the mountain where Jesus was crucified, the painter chose a high point of view. In this way he created a vast landscape in which he depicted successive episodes from the Passion of Jesus at the same time. This narrative technique is often used in medieval paintings.
