Nicola Pisano
The Crucifixion
The suspended figure of the frail, sorrowful Christ is a fulcrum from which diverge complex and fluctuating waves - trembling, nervous vibrations that pass over forms delicately modeled by the soft quivering of the light. Subtle linear inflections dim the impassioned dramatic vehemence with a touching pathos that strikes its most intense note in the weeping women around the swooning Virgin.
