Master of the Benediktbeurer Kreuzigung

 Salvete Omnes,

Good Friday - Day of Crucifixion of Our Lord circa 30 A,D., a little less than 2000 years ago.



So we will travel to circa 1455AD when unknown master painted this Crucifixion for the Benediktbeuern Abbey, in Bavaria.  The painter was contemporary to:



Konrad Witz  

and

Master of der Darmstädter Passion.
