Christ hangs from the cross, his eyes closed, surrounded by Mary, the apostles John and Peter, and a man who is presumably the patron of the work. None of them look up at the crucified Christ. The kneeling patron is deep in prayer and contemplation; the two apostles seem to be recommending him to Mary and Christ. John looks out of the frame as if presenting the pious patron as an example to the viewer. All of this takes place in surroundings with a cityscape and windmill more reminiscent of Brabant than of the Holy Land-perhaps to make the action more intense and immediate to its viewers. |  |
