ANGELICO, Fra
(b. ca. 1400, Vicchio nell Mugello, d. 1455, Roma)

Crucifixion

1420s
Tempera and gold on panel, 64 x 49 cm
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York

This panel, probably the centre part of a triptych or a wing of a diptych, was formerly attributed to Giovanni Toscani (d. 1430), a follower of Masaccio and Masolino. Recent reconsideration of the attribution gave the painting to the young Fra Angelico.
