Crucifixion by Giotto

Crucifixion by Giotto

Among the works attributed to Giotto, there are three large crucifixes. It is carved in the form of a cross wooden panels with the image of a crucified Christ. One of these crucifixes, dating from about 1290-1300 years, is in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence.

The second crucifix is now kept in the city museum in Padua, and originally it adorned the chapel del Arena.

The third crucifixion can be seen in the Malatestiano temple in Rimini. The second and third crucifixes date back to 1310-20 years. As for the authorship of several more smaller crucifixes exhibited in the museums of Berlin, Munich and Strasbourg, disputes are under way. Some researchers believe that he created them Giotto, but their opponents claim that at best they came out of the walls of his studio, although it can not be proved.
