The Three Crosses is a 1653 print in etching and drypoint by the Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn, which depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
The print is noted for its especially intricate iconography, and may represent the exact moment of Christ's death.
"[3] Rembrandt drew heavily on biblical sources in his work, as well as being influenced by other Baroque contemporaries.
Rembrandt made around sixty impressions from the plate in its first three stages, the darkest shadows on the piece being done in dry point, and Christ and the lighter figures being etched.
[citation needed] A man in a large hat (also on horseback) has been added and is believed to be a figure from Rembrandt's The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis.
