The Crucifixion with Saints Roch and Augustine

Filippo Bellini

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts a figure on a cross with both arms outstretched. Surrounding the central figure are cherub-like figures with wings, amidst clouds. Below the cross, there are two elderly men in robes facing each other. The man on the left is bald on top and holds a staff with a curled top. The man on the right also holds a staff and appears to be gesturing upwards with one hand. In the background, there is a hint of architecture with domed and arched structures. The scene is rendered in a monochromatic color palette with detailed line work.
