The Crucifixion
1415
Full Title:
The Crucifixion (Reverse)
Medium:
Tempera on panel
Dimensions:
Overall: 28.6 x 17.8 cm (11 1/4 x 7 in.)
Framed: 52.7 x 34.3 x 7.9 cm (20 3/4 x 13 1/2 x 3 1/8 in.)
Through his careful use of pose, expression and colour, Andrea di Bartolo made this crucifixion scene a highly emotive and painful one. Christ's pained face, the deathly colour of his body, and the red of his blood all work to reinforce the sorrow of the Crucifixion and the importance of Christ's sacrifice.
