Crucifixion Polyptych from Pruszcz — middle part: carved wooden altarpiece panel depicting the Road to Golgotha with the Carrying of the Cross (left), the Crucifixion (center), and the Lamentation (right), framed by richly fragmented tracery canopies and small typological scenes from the Old and New Testaments along the sides. The carved wardrobe is divided vertically into three zones in the format of a standing rectangle, the central zone taller than the side ones by about 2/5 of the height. In the central zone three large Gothic windows are visible in the background, suggesting the scene takes place in the church chancel despite a landscape background with rocky ground and buildings. A strip of tracery decoration runs along the full width as a plinth. The sculptures are gilded, except for painted faces and hands in natural flesh tones; background architecture and tracery also gilded. Gothic style, ca. 1500, attributed to Antwerp; altar. Dimensions: height 242.0 cm, width 288.0 cm, thickness 41.3 cm.
