A very well-tested scheme, all in its place according to the conventions of Renaissance painting. Van Heemskerck has learned the lesson of his great contemporary masters.
He did not forget to include all the details of the Gospel narrative: the sky that darkens at the moment of death, the spear that pierces the side, the two thieves (even if in theory they were latrones).
Obviously how to forget the patrons and all the crowd of children who witness the scene from the outside.
Otherwise the sky and the spears are interesting, a good pupil.
