Description: | This small panel was probably made for private devotion. In the upper portion appears the Crucifixion, with the Virgin, St John the Evangelist and Mary Magdalene. Over the crucifix is set a pelican, symbolic of Christ's sacrifice. In the lower portion is a lamentation over the body of Christ. Taddeo Gaddi was a pupil and collaborator of Giotto and one of the most influential painters of fourteenth-century Florence. The composition has been described as an adaptation of the Crucifixion which appears in the right side of his 1334 triptych in Berlin. | Subjects: | religion (Crucifixion crucifix Mary Magdalene St John the Evangelist Christ Lamentation Virgin God the Father); animal (pelican) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gaddi, Taddeo (Italian painter, active mid-1320s, died 1366) Æ Previously attributed to Gaddi, Taddeo (Italian painter, active mid-1320s, died 1366) and studio Previously attributed to Jacopo del Casentino (Italian painter, 1279-ca.1358) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8885... | Go to resource |
