# Crucifixion \(altar wall\) [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MASOLINO da Panicale]() - Date: 1401-1450 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary The end wall of the chapel is filled with a multifigured Crucifixion that was originally backed by an expansive, hilly landscape. Only fragments of the background survive. Unlike the legends of the saints on the side walls, which are parceled out into various smaller panels in two registers, Christ's agony takes up the entire available space. ## Related artworks - [Annunciation to Zacharias \(detail\)]() - [Conversion and Beheading of Empress Faustina]() - [Crucifixion \(altar wall\)]() - [Feast of Herod \(detail\)]() - [Feast of Herod \(detail\)]() - [Founding of Santa Maria Maggiore]() - [Frescoes in the Cappella Brancacci \(right view\)]() - [God the Father Surrounded by Angels \(detail\)]() - [Healing of the Cripple and Raising of Tabatha \(left view\)]() - [Healing of the Cripple and Raising of Tabatha \(right view\)]() - [Healing of the Cripple \(detail\)]() - [Landscape with Mountains]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
