The Crucifixion

Andrea da Firenze

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a crucifixion scene with a central figure of Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus has long brown hair and is shirtless with a white cloth around his waist; his arms are outstretched. He has wounds on his hands, side, and head. A red banner with three letters is above the cross. The background of the painting is gold with a patterned border on the left and right sides. Below Jesus, three figures are present: - A woman on the left with a blue head covering and a dark and pink robe. - A child in the middle wearing red and collecting blood from Jesus' side in a red cloth. - A man on the right with a brown robe and black sleeves. All three figures have gold halos around their heads. The painting appears aged, with visible cracks on the surface.
