The Crucifixion is a painting in tempera and gold on panel of c. 1315 attributed to Giotto, now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Strasbourg, France. Its inventory number is 167.[2]
History
Previously attributed to the School of Giotto, Roberto Longhi attributed it to the master himself in 1948.[3][1] It probably formed a diptych with the Madonna Enthroned between the Virtues (Wildenstein Collection, New York), attributed to the Master of the Sails.[4]
