Description
"The Crucifixion," is an artwork housed in the Museo di San Marco in Florence. The composition showcases a central crucifix, with Jesus prominently on the cross, flanked by two saints. Below, a group of mourners, including both male and female figures, exhibit expressions of sorrow and reverence.
Jesus is pictured with his eyes closed in death. The weight of his body making his arms sag. His two feet are held by a single nail, and his mother is about to faint. The skull at the base of the cross is a visual pun on Calvary, "the place of the skull." The two thieves are starkly distinguished. The one on Jesus' right is young, handsome, and blond. He gazes calmly on his savior. The other thief, with messy black hair, squints into the distance and howls in agony.
