The Crucifixion
by Giuliano Amadei

This beautiful painting, made around 1490 just at the cusp of the Renaissance, was from a large missal created for Pope Innocent VIII. He used it while celebrating Mass in the Sistine Chapel. It depicts the defining moment or Christianity, when Christ gave his life for the salvation of the world. The missal would have been open to this image during the Mass preceding the Canon, the prayer spoken immediately before the holy sacrament of the Eucharist-the consecration of bread and wine that would literally become the body and blood of Christ. Virgin Mary, Saint John, and Mary Magdalene surround our Lord in the two scenes. Old Testament prophets, including King David with his lyre, are on either side.

We hope you enjoy this. Devotional artwork in the home can help the hearts of those who see it.

We usually don' offer our vintage prints in 11x14", but this one is a high res file so it looks good large, and there is just so much detail in the print, we thought some people would like a bigger print.

Standard sizes. Easy to find a ready-made frame at your local Hobby Lobby. If you're sending this as a gift and would like us to frame it for you, please convo and we'll make special arrangements for you.



** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a white border of about 0.5" inch for 5x7", 1.3" for 8.5x11", or 1.6" for 11x14" pictures. All Approx! Fine art printers do this because the images are almost never the same rectangular ratio of the standard paper sizes. It also gives the prints a finished look, and lets them look good in a frame without a matt.

- Acid-free paper
- Archival pigments, rated to last for generations.
- Cardboard backer
- Above story of the art
- Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal clear bag.

Thanks for your interest!

Thanks!
