Created by the talented Netherlandish artist Hugo van der Goes in the 15th century, this masterpiece captures an intimate scene between Christ and his grieving mother, Mary. The composition is filled with symbolism that evokes both pain and hope. The crown of thorns adorning Christ's head serves as a stark reminder of his impending sacrifice, while drops of blood trickle down his face, representing the immense suffering he endured for humanity's salvation.
