Avignon Crucifixion Feminine Missal Representation Persons Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature painting, hailing from the School of Avignon and dating back to 1409, is a poignant representation of the Crucifixion, as depicted in Missal 1409, now housed in the National Library of Madrid, Spain. The intricate Gothic artistry of this work transports us back in time, inviting us to bear witness to one of the most significant moments in Christian history. The vertical composition of the image emphasizes the height of the cross, drawing our eyes upward towards the suffering Christ, whose outstretched arms and pierced side evoke a profound sense of sorrow and sacrifice. Surrounding Him are a group of mourning figures, including the Virgin Mary and the beloved disciple John, their faces etched with emotion and concern. The feminine energy is palpable as the women at the foot of the cross, their colorful robes and expressive countenances adding depth and dimension to the scene. The vibrant colors of the miniature painting bring the figures to life, imbuing the image with a sense of warmth and intimacy. The intricate details of the robes, the textures of the wood grain, and the delicate folds of the fabric all serve to heighten our connection to this powerful and moving representation of the Crucifixion. This masterpiece of Gothic art, with its rich history and evocative imagery, continues to captivate and inspire viewers, offering a glimpse into the artistic and spiritual traditions of the past.
