The Crucifixion
Bernardo Daddi Italian
Not on view
Although damaged in part, this Crucifixion is an important early work attributed to Bernardo Daddi, one of the principal painters of Florence. Dating perhaps to about 1320, it may have formed one wing of a diptych for private devotion. The poses of the two seated figures are based on Roman sculptural prototypes and are particularly beautiful. Their solidly conceived forms and grave expressions are a testament to the example of Giotto.
