GIOVANNI DA MILANO
(active 1350-69, Milano, Firenze)

Crucifixion

c. 1355
Tempera on panel, gold ground, 47 x 33 cm
Private collection

Typical of Giovanni's style are the elegant forms of the present Crucifixion and the relative absence of extravagant decoration found in many of his contemporaries' work.

It has been proposed that the panel was not originally a stand-alone work but the pinnacle of a polyptych.
