Calvary

Calvary is an altarpiece of oil painting on wood created about 1530-1535 by the painter Portuguese of the Renaissance Vasco Fernandes (c. 1475-1542) and which is presently in the Grão Vasco Museum in Viseu.

The Altarpiece, composed of a larger main panel representing the Crucifixion of Christ and a predela consisting of three smaller panels representing Christ Before Pilate, Descent of the Cross and Descent of Christ into Limbo, originally decorated the chapel of the Most Holy (at the southern top of the transept) of the See of Viseu.
