About Crucifixion (Diptych, Left part)

The artwork titled “Crucifixion (Diptych, Left part)” was created by Orthodox Icons around 1275 to 1280. It originates from the Crusader workshop and falls under the icon genre. This piece is part of the “Passion of Jesus” series and is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, located in Chicago, Illinois, United States.

The artwork depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in a traditional religious iconographic style. Jesus is shown on the cross, with two figures on either side, presumably the Virgin Mary and a disciple, possibly John, both depicted in mourning. Above Jesus, two angels are painted, their expressions and gestures indicating reverence and sorrow. The intricate detailing in the halos and robes of the figures is characteristic of the Crusader workshop’s craftsmanship. The background and the frame are adorned with gilded elements, enhancing the sacred and solemn atmosphere of the scene. The overall composition emphasizes the sorrow and divinity of the moment, adhering to the stylistic conventions of medieval Christian iconography.
