The Master of the Rasini Crucifixion

An exciting and rare gold-ground painting on panel dating from circa 1350. The Rasini Crucifixion, a work that gave its artist his name, represents a key moment in northern Italian painting, showing both Giottesque-Lombard stylistic traits and also influences from Verona. These traits were so distinctive that Boskovits (in common with other scholars) believed that the Master of the Rasini Crucifixion could possibly be the young Altichiero da Verona, due to the exceptional quality and singular style encountered in this panel.
