Christ, larger in scale than the others around him, looms alone in the centre of the composition. Surrounding him are about figures whose actions occurred sequentially over time, here appearing simultaneously. Mary Magdalene kneels at the foot of the cross.

About the Artist

Jacobello Del Fiore

1370 – 1439

Venetian painter, who broke away from the Byzantine tradition exemplified by Paolo Veneziano which dominated Venetian art until the end of the 14th century. He was in turn influenced by the Intenational Gothic style of the early 15th century. Most of his works are in Venice.
