| Sumari: | The reverse of the wings of a small Calvary triptych painted in Brussels between 1475 and 1500 and today preserved in a private collection bears a Spanish inscription. It indicates that the work belonged to the Castilian mystic Juana de la Cruz. She died in 1534 in the Franciscan monastery of Santa María de la Cruz in Cubas de la Sagra, now in the Community of Madrid. The Calvary scene is derived from Rogier van der Weyden’s triptych depicting the same subject in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. This paper argues that the triptych owned by Juana de la Cruz had an influence on one of her sermons, which dealt with Christ’s death on Golgotha. The highly unusual motif of the Virgin Mary embracing the cross like the Magdalen while being supported by St John the Evangelist was a bold artistic invention by Rogier. Its appearance in a sermon of the Franciscan nun must be understood as a direct borrowing from the small Flemish triptych she kept in her cell.
