Crucifixion
Embriachi Workshopend of the 14th century - end of the 14th century
Bagatti Valsecchi Museum
Milano, Italy
The five scenes of this little triptych depict the Crucifixion, the Annunciation, the Garden of Gethsemene, the Nativity and the Betrayal. The original piece had a peaked cornice; pieces were added to the upper inner edges of the two side panels to make the panels fit the 19th century frame. The central figure of Christ and the cross, as well as possibly the area of Golgotha and Adam's skull below them, were added in the 19th century. Probably purchased by the brothers Fausto and Giuseppe at the end of the 19th century, the triptych is still displayed--as are all other objects in the museum--in its original place, thus contributing to the authentic "time capsule" ambiance.
