Versions
The painting has been reproduced in many media, but all derive from two panel paintings, both painted around 1529. One is in Gotha, Germany, and the other in Prague, Czech Republic. The versions can be distinguished by the positions a nude human figure. In the Prague version, this man is shown seated under a tree. In the Gotha version, the same figure can be seen in both the right and left sides of the painting, one being driven to condemnation and the other to the cross.
