Juan de Flandes - Crucifixion [1509-18]


Juan de Flandes (Flanders, c.1460 – 1519) was an early Netherlandish painter who was active in Spain from 1496 to 1519 – his actual name is unknown. His colouring is refined, "with a preference for rather acid hues", and "while his feeling for space and light is sophisticated, a tendency to divide space into a succession of thin planes becomes a mannerism in his late works."
