The Crucifixion Stefano da Verona (Stefano di Giovanni d'Arbosio di Francia) Italian ca. 1400 This deeply affective work combines an austere composition with elegantly varied expressions of grief characteristic of painting at the cosmopolitan court in Milan under Duke Gian Galeazzo Visconti (1351–1402). Stefano da Verona was a leading exponent of the International Gothic style, which owes much to Burgundian sculpture and to French miniature painting. The delicately tooled gold background emulates expensive goldsmith work (the thornless roses are emblems of the Virgin Mary). Mary Magdalen, knee
