Abstract
The article looks at the painting “Crucifixion” by Hendrick ter Brugghen. The author analyzes its relationship to the painting known as the “Ploos Epitaph” and its religious, historical, and artistic significance in the context of Catholic worship in Utrecht and Catholic attitudes towards Sacred artwork. According to the author, the painting is a response to changes in religion and religious art. It is suggested that both paintings came into being as a result of iconoclasm and drew upon symbols from and of the past. Topics discussed include the Protestant Reformation, Calvinism, and the depiction of Christ's blood in ter Brugghen's painting.
