This image depicts the **Altarpiece of the Holy Cross (Retablo de la Santa Cruz)** by Marzal de Sas, located in the **Museo de Bellas Artes de València**, València, Spain.

The artwork is a large, multi-panelled altarpiece composed of a main body in a triptych format and a lower predella. The entire structure is adorned with intricate gilded Gothic tracery. It is displayed against a plain, light-colored wall, with a red velvet-like fabric covering the bottom edge of its support structure. Below, a light-colored marble-paneled wall segment is visible, with a white electrical outlet mounted on the wall to the left.

The upper triptych features three distinct painted scenes from the Passion of Christ:
1.  **Left panel:** The Washing of the Feet. Jesus, with a halo, kneels to wash the foot of Saint Peter, who is seated. Ten other apostles, also with halos, are seated or standing around them within an interior architectural setting featuring arched doorways and a fireplace.
2.  **Middle panel:** This panel depicts two stacked scenes. The upper scene shows The Flagellation of Christ, with Jesus bound to a column and being scourged by two figures, observed by a crowded assembly of men in varied attire, including soldiers. The lower section shows a related scene of Christ before a group of figures, one of whom is possibly Pontius Pilate, amidst more armed figures.
3.  **Right panel:** The Bearing of the Cross. Jesus, centrally positioned, carries a large wooden cross on his shoulder. He is surrounded by a dense crowd of soldiers, onlookers, and other figures, including women, one of whom (likely the Virgin Mary) appears to be collapsing or supported. A figure behind Jesus assists with the cross.

The lower predella consists of six individual compartments, each containing a half-length male figure, likely prophets or patriarchs. Each figure, rendered within a decorative Gothic arch, holds an unfurled scroll with Latin text. They are depicted with distinct facial features, beards, and headwear, wearing garments of various colors.
