BERNARDO DADDI. The Crucifixion

The Crucifixion. Artist: Bernardo Daddi (Italian, Florence (?) ca. 1290-1348 Florence). Dimensions: Overall 18 1/4 x 11 3/8 in. (46.4 x 28.9 cm); painted surface 17 1/2 x 11 3/8 in. (44.5 x 28.9 cm). Date: ca. 1325-30. Although damaged in part, this <i>Crucifixion</i> 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.
