EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a plaque titled "The Crucifixion" believed to be French or English in origin and created between 1345-1365. Made from ivory, this delicate piece is mounted on a silver stand added after 1919 by M. Bucellati, an accomplished artist from Milano, Roma, Firenze. Originally part of a diptych, this intricately carved panel depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ's crucifixion. The plaque has undergone slight alterations over time, with arcs carved into its sides possibly to fit it into a frame. Its small size - measuring h:10.80 w:6.55 cm - adds to its preciousness and attention to detail. As we gaze upon this medieval masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness the solemnity and tragedy of Jesus' death on the cross. The relief sculpture captures every emotion - from mourners grieving at his feet to the profound suffering etched onto Christ's face. A testament to Christian faith and devotion during the Gothic period, this plaque serves as a reminder of the central event in Christianity – Jesus' sacrifice for humanity's salvation. Its presence within Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio offers visitors an opportunity for reflection and contemplation on these timeless themes. Through Fine Art Finder's collaboration with Bridgeman Images, viewers can now appreciate every intricate detail of this remarkable artwork while exploring its rich historical context online or through beautifully reproduced prints like this one.
