Crucifix between the Virgin and Saints
by BARONCELLI, Niccolò, Bronze
In 1450 Baroncelli was commissioned to make life-size bronze statues of the Crucified Christ, the Virgin, St John the Evangelist, St George and St Maurelius to be placed on an architrave before the high altar in Ferrara Cathedral (now in the right arm of the transept). With his son Giovanni he completed the first three statues, St George and St Maurelius were completed by Domenico di Paris.
The picture shows St John the Evangelist.
