Palestrina
Pietà Palestrina Pietà Pieta ...Artist: ? ... Year: c. 1555 ... Marble ... Height: 8'4" ... "Formerly
attributed to Michelangelo,
but now it is mostly considered to have been completed by someone else,
such as Niccolò Menghini or Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The
attribution to Michelangelo was made in the
first half of the 18th century. There is no earlier discussion of the
work as there is for nearly all others attributed to the master.
"The sculpture was originally in a room beside the Santa Rosalia church in Palestrina and was owned by the Barberini family. Some sources indicate it was made in 1556. The sculpture was acquired by the government in 1939. - Wikipedia (online June 2020)  Palestrina Pietà  Palestrina Pietà  Palestrina Pietà |
| Crucifix By Bernardo Daddi ca. 1345  Bernardo Daddi's Crucifix "Among Giotto’s pupils was
Bernardo Daddi, by whom there are various goldbacked panel paintings in
the room and, above all, a large painted Crucifix,
formerly exposed in the Florentine church of San Donato in
Polverosa. The cross was located above the main altar and features the
typical Gothic
pose of a “Christus patiens”, and follows the iconography requirements
Giotto had set with the crucifix he painted for the Basilica
of Santa Maria Novella in Florence at the turn of the century (ca.
1295).
"In Daddi’s Crucifix (ca. 1345), Christ’s heavy body is flanked by the sorrowful figures of Mary and John the Evangelist, while the ends of the arms depict “The Mocking of Christ”, “Christ at the Column” and “The Way to Calvary”. At the top of the panel, Christ is painted as “Jesus Pantocreator at the Last Judgment” within a shiny almond shaped space. In the same branch of the cross, one can read the Latin inscription “DICEST IESUS NAZARENUS REX IUDAEORUM” (Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews)." - Accademia.org (online June 2020)  Bernardo Daddi's Crucifix Gilded background ...

| Christ as the Man of Sorrows with the Symbols of
the Passion By Maestro della Madonna Straus C. 1395   Maestro
della Madonna Straus: "He was
active in Florence and is named after a depiction of a Madonna and
Child donated by the Straus family to the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
He is possibly the same person as Cenni di Francesco di Ser Cenni. One
of the most individual and lyrical Late Gothic
Tuscan painters ... His slender,
pale figures blend spiritual evanescence with Giottesque solidity of
form and are at their most expressive in the Man of Sorrows with Instruments of the Passion
of c. 1395. Striking touches of
realism... enliven these scenes." - Wikipedia
