Crucifixion

The 'Crucifixion' is a central panel in the Polyptych of the Misericordia, an early work of Piero della Francesca, a renowned Early Renaissance painter. Currently held in the Museo Civico di Sansepolcro in Tuscany, Italy, this exquisitely rendered religious painting depicts the Virgin of Mercy, a common motif in Christian iconography. Piero della Francesca's signature use of tempera both adds depth and lends subtle emotional nuance to the scene, making 'Crucifixion' a standout example of his artistry and technical prowess.
