EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Crucifixion" painted by Fra Angelico, also known as Guido di Pietro or Giovanni da Fiesole, in approximately 1440. The artwork measures 34 x 50.2 cm and is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. In this masterpiece, we witness a profound depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Calvary. Surrounding him are Saints Monica, Augustine, and Peter Martyr alongside Saints Dominic, Francis, and Elizabeth of Hungary. This composition was created during Fra Angelico's time working on the frescoes for the San Marco convent in Florence with funding from Cosimo de Medici. The painting portrays intense grief and mourning through its meticulous attention to detail. It captures the agony endured by Christ as he wears a crown of thorns and bears wounds from his crucifixion. The figures surrounding him display deep sorrow and lamentation. Fra Angelico's skillful use of tempera on canvas laid on wood brings out vibrant colors that enhance the emotional impact of this religious scene. The golden accents add a touch of divine radiance to the composition. "The Crucifixion" stands as an exemplary representation of Italian Renaissance artistry within religious themes. Its portrayal serves as a powerful reminder of Christian beliefs while showcasing Fra Angelico's mastery in capturing human emotion within sacred narratives.
