Description: | A small portable crucifixion. The cross is surmounted by the emblem of the pelican, the Virgin orans appears at the left of the cross, St John the Evangelist is at the right and Mary Magdalene kneels at its foot. The emblem of the pelican feeding its young on its breast by plucking until it drew blood was a common symbol of Christ's sacrifice. The painted field is edged in distinctive punching. Formed of a separate piece of wood and with its inscription more suited to a small panel of the Virgin, the base appears to have been taken from another work. | Subjects: | St Mary Magdalene) St John the Evangelist religion (Virgin Mary | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian (Tuscan) School Æ Previously attributed to Ceccarelli, Naddo (Italian painter, active ca. 1347) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8480... | Go to resource |
