One of the most intriguing observations about a newly discovered mid-15th-century Crucifixion drawing from the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam is its relationship to The Met'sCrucifixion and Last Judgment paintings, which today are known as two halves of a diptych by Jan van Eyck and his Workshop. Exactly what this relationship is, however, is a matter of discussion that impacts many other issues, such as the attribution, date, and function of the drawing, as well as the date and original form and function of the paintings. Recently, The Met's paintings, along with their frames, underwent technical investigations in the Museum's Department of Paintings Conservation in an effort to solve long-standing mysteries about them. 

This exhibition features the Rotterdam drawing and The Met's Crucifixion and Last Judgmentpaintings in a presentation that focuses on the new discoveries that have been made. Additional objects, drawn mostly from The Met collection, including paintings, prints, drawings, a rosary bead, manuscript illumination, enamelwork, and portrait medals, provide a context for the Crucifixion and Last Judgment themes.
