Crucifixion Polyptych from Pruszcz - middle part - Stations of the Cross: Carrying the Cross, Crucifixion, Lamentation; sculptor. The carved altarpiece is divided vertically into three zones in the format of a standing rectangle, the central one much higher than the side ones (by 2/5 of the height). The zones contain depictions of the Road to Golgotha: left, the Carrying of the Cross; center, the Crucifixion; right, the Lamentation, shown against a landscape with buildings, framed at the top by richly fragmented tracery canopies; at 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, suggesting the scene takes place in the church's chancel despite the landscape background with rocky ground and buildings. A strip of tracery decoration runs along the entire width, creating a plinth. The sculptures are gilded except for faces and hands, which are painted in natural flesh tones; background architecture and tracery also gilded. ca. 1500, Antwerp. Altar, height 242.0 cm, width 288.0 cm, thickness 41.3 cm.
