Crucifixion

religious

At one time Michele was thought to have been the pupil of Domenico Morone; today, the range of influences that went into his formation is believed to include Diana, Alvise Vivarini and the late Giovanni Bellini. Thus he was not strictly a provincial product, but operated within the sphere of a strongly archaising purism. The Crucifixion is Michele's masterpiece, with its unusual cold colour and silvery reflections.
