What specifically does the The Metropolitan Museum of Art write about the artwork created by Master of the Berswordt Altar? (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Emotion conveyed through elegantly stylized figures is a trait this Crucifixion shares with other works of the so-called courtly (or International) style that prevailed in Europe in the years around 1400. It is from an imposing altarpiece that included thirty narrative scenes around a central panel of the Madonna and Child. The main panel is still in the Neustädter Marienkirche in Bielefeld, Westphalia. The artist was one of the foremost painters in northwest Germany.
