A. Crucifix (late 12th – early 13th century)

Tempera panel attributed to the “Master of the Blue Crosses,” an anonymous Spoleto-bred artist thus called for the delicate blue color prevalent in his works. It comes from the cemetery chapel of Roccatamburo di Poggiodomo. Christ’s face is painted on a disk of wood tilted downward and decorated with small concavities that return on the outside edge of the cross. The iconography is that of the Christus triumphans with a living Christ. The upper bar panel is of the Ascension, the central panel St. John and two Marys (the third panel has been lost).
