"The Crucifixion 1400" is a notable late medieval painting attributed to the Master of the Berswordt Altar, an anonymous German artist active in Westphalia at the end of the 14th and beginning of the 15th centuries. The painting is considered a significant example of Gothic art in Germany and is characterized by its detailed representation of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, a central theme in Christian art.

The work is named after the year it is believed to have been created, around 1400, and showcases the stylistic elements typical of the period, including elongated figures, expressive gestures, and a rich use of color. The Master of the Berswordt Altar, named after the high altar of the Marienkirche in Dortmund he is presumed to have painted, was known for his sophisticated technique and the emotional intensity of his religious scenes.

"The Crucifixion 1400" reflects the devotional practices of the time, aiming to inspire piety and contemplation among its viewers. The painting would have originally been part of a larger altarpiece, serving as a focal point for worship within a church setting. Its composition likely includes the sorrowful figures of the Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist, as well as other traditional elements such as the sun and moon, which are often depicted in crucifixion scenes to symbolize the cosmic significance of the event.

While the exact location and provenance of "The Crucifixion 1400" may not be well-documented, the painting is an important piece for understanding the evolution of religious art in Germany at the turn of the 15th century. It exemplifies the transition from the Byzantine-influenced styles of the earlier Middle Ages to the more naturalistic approaches that would define the Renaissance. As an artwork attributed to the Master of the Berswordt Altar, it contributes valuable insight into the oeuvre of this enigmatic figure and the artistic milieu of his time.
