The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this masterpiece. From Christ's serene expression to his outstretched hand gesture, each element conveys a sense of power and grace. The vibrant colors and intricate lettering further enhance the overall composition, making it a visual feast for the eyes. Created around 1400 in Tuscany, this piece exemplifies Italian artistry during that period.
