Andrew Crucifixion Episcopal Feminine Tempera Persons
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 15th-century tempera on wood painting depicts the Crucifixion of Saint Andrew, a revered apostle and martyr in the Christian faith. The International Gothic masterpiece, created between 1416 and 1418, showcases the intricate details and expressive emotions characteristic of the Gothic art movement. The composition is dominated by the central figure of Saint Andrew, nailed to the cross with his X-shaped crucifixion cross, symbolizing his martyrdom. He gazes upwards in quiet acceptance, his face etched with serene determination. Surrounding him are a group of mourning women and men, their faces etched with sadness and despair. One woman, in particular, stands out, her hands clasped in prayer, her eyes filled with tears. Her feminine figure, clad in a richly colored robe, adds a sense of tenderness and compassion to the scene. The painting's vibrant colors and intricate details bring the story of Saint Andrew's martyrdom to life. The rich, earthy tones of the wood and the delicate, expressive brushstrokes of the figures create a sense of depth and texture. The horizontal composition of the painting draws the viewer in, inviting them to contemplate the scene and the emotions of the figures depicted. This exquisite work of art is housed in the Vic Episcopal Museum in Vic, Spain. Its preservation and display allow us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of this remarkable piece of International Gothic art, a testament to the artistic achievements of the period.
