# Christ on the Cross with the Virgin, Sts John and Mary Magdalene [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [NICCOLÒ DI PIETRO GERINI]() - Date: 1351-1400 - Technique: Tempera on panel, gold ground, arched top, 38 x 39 cm ## Commentary The present panel is impressive in its inventive use of space and in the expressive faces and gestures of the figures. The Madonna's pose, forming a diagonal line echoing that of the prostrate Mary Magdalene, provides the scene with sense of movement which is amplified by the rippling folds of her mantle, falling from her raised arms. ## Related artworks - [Annunciate Virgin]() - [Annunciating Angel]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Crucifixion with the Virgin and St John]() - [The Blessing Redeemer]() - [Triptych \(detail\)]() - [Triptych \(detail\)]() - [Triptych \(detail\)]() - [Triptych]() - [Virgin and Child Enthroned]() - [Virgin and Child]() - [Virgin and Child]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
