Das Kreuzigungstriptychon von Rogier van der Weyden entstand etwa in der Zeit zwischen 1440 und 1445 und befindet sich im Kunsthistorischen Museum in Wien.

Geschichte

Der ursprüngliche Aufstellungsort der Altartafel ist nicht bekannt. Ebenso ungeklärt ist die Identität des Stifterpaares.

Dendrochronologische Untersuchungen ergaben als frühestes mögliches Fälldatum die Zeit um 1431; wahrscheinlich ist ein Fälldatum um 1437. Holz muss vor der weiteren Präparation und Benutzung als Bildträger zum Trocknen gelagert werden. Die Einschätzung der Lagerungszeit variiert zwischen den einzelnen Forscherpositionen, was unterschiedliche Datierungen des Kreuzigungstriptychons vom Anfang bis zu Mitte und Ende der 1440er Jahre zur Folge hat.

1659 wird das Objekt im Inventar der Abteilung „Mahlerey von Teutsch und Niederlaendischen Mahleren“ der Kunstsammlung des Erzherzogs Leopold Wilhelm als Nr. 13 geführt.

Bildmotiv

Auf der Mitteltafel des Triptychons befindet sich inmitten einer Landschaft, an deren Horizont Jerusalem zu erkennen ist, der verstorbene Jesus am Kreuz. Links darunter versucht sein Lieblingsjünger Johannes, Jesu Mutter Maria zu stützen, die niedergesunken ist und das Kreuz umklammert – eine Geste, die auf Tafelbildern der Zeit oftmals mit Maria Magdalena verbunden ist. Rechts neben dem Kreuz befinden sich, in bemerkenswerter Nähe zu dieser Szene, die knienden und betenden Stifter des Bildes. Die trauernde Maria Magdalena ist auf dem linken Flügel abgebildet. Als Attribut hält sie ein Salbgefäss in der Hand. Ihr gegenüber auf der rechten Flügelseite steht die heilige Veronika mit dem Sch

In this Dutch name, the surname is van der Weyden, not Weyden.

Rogier van der Weyden (Dutch:[roːˈɣiːrvɑndərˈʋɛidə(n)]; 1399 or 1400 – 18 June 1464), initially known as Roger de le Pasture (French:[ʁɔʒed(ə)lapastyʁ]), was an early Netherlandish painter whose surviving works consist mainly of religious triptychs, altarpieces, and commissioned single and diptych portraits. He was highly successful in his lifetime; his paintings were exported to Italy and Spain, and he received commissions from, amongst others, Philip the Good, Netherlandish nobility, and foreign aristocrats. By the latter half of the 15th century, he had eclipsed Jan van Eyck in popularity. However his fame lasted only until the 17th century, and largely due to changing taste, he was almost totally forgotten by the mid-18th century. His reputation was slowly rebuilt during the 200 years that followed; today he is known, with Robert Campin and van Eyck, as the third (by birth date) of the three great Early Netherlandish artists (Vlaamse Primitieven or "Flemish Primitives"), and widely as the most influential Northern painter of the 15th century.

Very few details of van der Weyden's life are known. The few facts we know come from fragmentary civic records. Yet the attribution of paintings now associated to him is widely accepted, partly on the basis of circumstantial evidence, but primarily on the stylistic evidence of a number of paintings by an innovative master.

Van der Weyden worked from life models, and details were closely observed. Yet he often idealised certain elements of his models' facial features, who were typically statuesque, especially in his triptychs. All of his forms are rendered with rich, warm colourisation and

Rogier van der Weyden or Roger de la Pasture (1399 or 1400 – 18 June 1464) was an early Flemish painter. His surviving works are mainly religious triptychs, altarpieces and commissioned single and diptych portraits. He was very successful and internationally famous in his lifetime. His paintings went to Italy and Spain. By the end of the 15th century, he had become more popular than Jan van Eyck. His fame lasted only until the 17th century.

Due to the loss of archives in 1695 and again in 1940, there are few certain facts of van der Weyden's life. Rogelet de le Pasture (Roger of the Pasture) was born in Tournai in 1399 or 1400. His parents were Henri de le Pasture and Agnes de Watrélos. He married around 1426, to Elisabeth Goffaert. He was made town painter of Brussels in 1436. He changed his name from the French to the Dutch format, becoming 'van der Weyden'.
