This engraving by Martin Schongauer depicts the Crucifixion of Christ surrounded by four mourning angels who collect his blood in chalices, a composition that emphasizes both the sacrificial nature of Christ's death and the spiritual transcendence of the scene. Executed with Schongauer's characteristically precise and delicate line work, the print demonstrates the Northern Renaissance mastery of the engraving technique through intricate cross hatching and fine detail. The presence of the Small Bull's Head with Cross of St Anthony watermark identifies this as an impression from Schongauer's original plate, one of the most celebrated examples of 15th century German printmaking.
