Crucifixion Polyptych from Pruszcz - middle part — Stations of the Cross: Carrying the Cross, Crucifixion, Lamentation; sculptor. The carved wardrobe is divided vertically into three zones in the format of a standing rectangle, the central zone being much higher than the side ones (by 2/5 of the height). The zones depict the Road to Golgotha: left — Carrying of the Cross; center — Crucifixion; right — Lamentation, shown against a landscape with buildings, framed at the top by richly fragmented tracery canopies; on the sides, small scenes from the Old and New Testaments (combined typologically). In the central zone, three large Gothic windows are visible in the background, and despite the landscape background (rocky ground and buildings) the windows suggest the scene takes place in the church’s chancel. A strip of tracery decoration runs along the entire width of the cabinet, forming a plinth. The sculptures are gilded except for the faces and hands, which are painted in flesh tones. Architecture and tracery are also gilded. ca. 1500, Antwerp. Altar, height 242.0 cm, width 288.0 cm, thickness 41.3 cm.
