Crucifixion by Ugolino 1315
Famous in Florence and Siena, Ugolino was a close follower of Duccio, from whom he learned his remarkable sense of color, and use of gesture and expression, creating the most tragic effect on the Saints gazes. The presence of Saint Francis, and Clare, indicates that the panel belonged to a Franciscan friar, a nun, or another member of the franciscan family. The background of gold has been deteriorated, and the head of Christ has had a partial reconstruction. (Tempera on wood, 1315).
