About Crucifixion and Last Judgement diptych in brief
The Crucifixion and Last Judgement diptych consists of two small painted panels attributed to the Early Netherlandish artist Jan van Eyck. It is one of the early Northern Renaissance oil on panel masterpieces, renowned for its unusually complex and highly detailed iconography. It was executed in a miniature format; the panels are just 56. 5 cm high by 19. 7 cm wide. The diptyCh was probably commissioned for private devotion. Portions of the work contain Greek, Latin and Hebrew inscriptions. The original gilt frames contain Biblical passages in Latin drawn from the books of Isaiah, Deuteronomy and Revelation. According to a date written in Russian on their reverse, the panels were transferred to canvas supports in 1867. On the evidence of technique and the style of dress of the figures, the majority of scholars believe the panels. are late works by Jan vanEyck, executed in the early 1430s and finished after his death.
