ANDREA DEL CASTAGNO: Crucifixion

🖼 Crucifixion, c. 1450
Panel
29 × 35 cm
London, United Kingdom

Stark geometric forms and sharp perspective define this Crucifixion, with Christ's body rendered in cold, sculptural detail against a barren landscape. Del Castagno's scientific approach to anatomy and space exemplifies Florentine Renaissance innovation, transforming religious suffering into architectural precision.
