The Crucifixion
The Crucifixion
The Cleveland Museum of Art catalogs The Crucifixion as painting (Italy, Florence · c. 1360s).
WHY IT’S INTERESTING
This panel has been trimmed slightly at the bottom, cutting off the scene.
A CLOSER LOOK
The museum identifies this painting as tempera and gold on wood (walnut) and credits Andrea da Firenze (Italian, 1379).
The museum's collection notes: This panel was probably part of a small altarpiece of private devotion. The artist was active in Florence and Siena following the Black Death, which began in the late 1340s. His works, like others created during that troubled time, are charged with emotion.
