Crucifixion with Saints Francis Clare Anthony by Tiberio di Assisi
Crucifixion with Saints Francis, Clare, Anthony, and Leonard by Tiberio di Assisi (1506). Tempera on panel, alocated in the Treasure Museum in the Basilica of St. Francis, in Assisi.
At bottom left and right two groups of penitentes, the back of one on the left showing multitudinous scourge marks, pray to Christ on the Cross.
St. Leonard is identified by the shackles in his right hand; Anthony, by the Antonine habit, black pig, and tau-top staff with bell; Francis, by his habit and stigmata; Clare, by the lily stalk, book, and (unusually) a rosary divided as in modern times into five decades with a crucifix and beads for the introductory prayers.
