Pieter Lastman’s 1616 painting depicts Christ’s crucifixion at Golgotha, flanked by two criminals. Mary and St. John stand by the cross, while Mary Magdalene kneels at its foot. Another Mary, wife of Clopas, is comforted by an older woman. Soldiers in the background cast lots for Christ’s garments, referencing John 19:17-30. Among Lastman’s four crucifixions, this work is notable for its monumental scale and emotional depth, capturing the profound sorrow of the scene.
