"The Small Crucifixion" is a notable work of Northern Renaissance art by the German painter and printmaker Matthias Grünewald, also known as Mathis Gothardt. Created between 1511 and 1520, this oil-on-wood panel painting is a poignant representation of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, showcasing Grünewald's mastery of emotional expression and his distinctive, often dramatic style.

Measuring 58.4 cm × 39.9 cm, "The Small Crucifixion" is a more intimate counterpart to Grünewald's larger and more famous "Isenheim Altarpiece," which is renowned for its vivid and harrowing depiction of the same subject. In "The Small Crucifixion," Grünewald's use of stark lighting and intense color contrasts heightens the emotional impact of the scene, drawing the viewer into a contemplation of Christ's suffering and the spiritual significance of the crucifixion.

The painting features a central figure of Christ on the cross, flanked by the Virgin Mary, who is shown swooning in grief, supported by the Apostle John, and Mary Magdalene, who is depicted in a state of deep mourning. The figures are set against a dark, foreboding landscape that enhances the somber mood of the composition.

Grünewald's work is characterized by its raw emotional power and its deviation from the idealized beauty typical of Renaissance art. His ability to convey the pain and pathos of religious scenes has earned him a place among the most original and powerful artists of his time. "The Small Crucifixion" is a testament to his skill in creating works that resonate with viewers on a deeply emotional level.

Today, "The Small Crucifixion" is held in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance, as well as its profound expression of human suffering and divine sacrifice.
