Painting by Italian master discovered 15th-century work found in a dark hall in an English country house
1996
Overview
[Fra Angelico] is known to have been influenced by Masaccio and [Lorenzo Monaco]. [Francis Russell] noted that the picture contains features that echo both painters, as well as aspects that only Fra Angelico used. For example, the figure of Christ is seen from the front and is rendered with long, slender arms, with the thumbs hanging across the palms. This arrangement is found in three of Lorenzo's crucifixions in churches in Italy. Christ's loincloth is folded in exactly the same way as in a Lorenzo painting in the Art Institute of Chicago. The clincher for Russell was the angle of Christ's head, lolling to one side, rather than forward and down. This is a composition Fra Angelico was to repeat later in many other undisputed paintings.
