Sobre a pintura
This panel may be one of the last executed by Ambrogio before he died in the devastating pandemic known as the Black Death. Ambrogio and his brother Pietro ran two of the most successful workshops in Siena, producing many images made for private devotion. Although there are no traces of hinging on the sides of this panel, a painting of an enthroned Virgin and Child with saints attributed to Pietro Lorenzetti that is now in Berlin may be the other half of a diptych to which this painting once belonged. If so, it suggests a close relationship between the artists’ workshops. The coupling of an enthroned Virgin with a Crucifixion was common in the fourteenth century, but few Crucifixions from this period present the balance of narrative, composition, and palette so subtly.
