La Crucifixión

1340s
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 635
Esta escena de singular intensidad emocional y verosímil caracterización formaba parte de un retablo portátil, concebido como un estímulo para la plegaria, del que queda solo otro panel. Su autor, Pietro Lorenzetti, estudió con Duccio en Siena y, al igual que su hermano Ambrogio, fue un auténtico innovador del arte italiano. La fértil imaginación del artista se hace patente en la dramatización del tema narrativo. Cada uno de los elementos de la composición, ya sea la Virgen desmayada o bien la dinámica figura que se dispone a romper las piernas de uno de los ladrones, refleja el talento de Pietro para dar al tema bíblico una dimensión humana.
