# Crucifixion [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [ALTICHIERO da Zevio]() - Date: 1351-1400 - Technique: Fresco, 840 x 280 cm ## Commentary The Veronese painter Altichiero studied Giotto's frescoes in Padua and borrowing from them developed new forms of pictorial architecture. Around 1380, he and Jacopo Avanzo painted a cycle of frescoes in the Chapel of San Giacomo in the Santo \(the church of Sant'Antonio\) in Padua. The group compositions of his Crucifixion are those of Giotto's figures, but the architecture is structured so that it seems to recede ever deeper into the background of the picture. Only a stone's throw from the chapel, the young Titian was to work in the Scuola del Santo in 1511, where he was deeply impressed by Altichiero's colour scheme and composition. <p> <table align=left cellpadding=5 border=1 width=320 bgcolor="\#99cccc"> <tr valign=middle><td><img src="/support/gif/listen.gif" border=0 valign=middle> Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 3 minutes\):<br><a href="\#" onClick="w=window.open \('/music1/15\_cent/dufay\_easter.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350'\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true"><b>Guillaume Dufay: Hymn for Easter</b></a> </td></tr></table> ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Crucifixion \(detail\)]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Façade of the Oratory]() - [King Ramiro Summons the Crown Council]() - [Scenes from the Life of St James]() - [Scenes on the entry wall]() - [St George Baptizes the King and His Family \(detail\)]() - [St George Slays the Dragon]() - [The Beheading of St Catherine]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
