Matias Gruenwald was born in 1470. He was a German Renaissance painter and decided to ignore Renaissance classicism during the sixteenth century. So, this means most of Gruenwald’s artworks were not influenced by Renaissance classicism. Also, his artworks display an expressive intensity of the late medieval period instead of Italian Renaissance like other artists did in that time. So, all of Gruenwald’s artworks seem to be more “modern” than others. For the main ideas of his artworks, they have a religious theme and contain some kind of graphic scenes that tell the audience about the “Crucifixion.” And one of these artworks is the Isenheim Altarpiece, which was painted for the monks of the Monastery of Saint Anthony during 1515.

Russell Drysdale’s ‘The Crucifixion’ is closely related to his drought paintings collection, however there is a strong sense of unique religious perspective conveyed through this piece. The colour palette of deep reds and browns is used similar to his other works that depict the harshness and brutality of the Australian landscape. By implementing the idea of religion into this work, Drysdale has created a new meaning for the outback that describes the impact of white settlement on the environment.
