The Crucifixion Triptych is an altarpiece of c. 1443–1445 by Rogier van der Weyden, now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.[1] The central scene shows the Crucifixion of Christ, with the Virgin Mary clinging to the foot of the cross, John the Evangelist comforting her and the painting's two donors kneeling to the right. On the left-hand side panel is Mary Magdalene, while on the right side panel is Saint Veronica. A unified landscape background across all three panels shows Jerusalem in the distance.
