About this work
At right, the Virgin swoons while John the Evangelist turns his head away, and beneath the cross Mary Magdalene atones for her sins. Only the resigned figure of Christ exudes calm in this busy scene of his crucifixion. The ivory-carver introduced greater depth by angling the cross to the right and detaching it from the background.
