About this work
Overview

Subject & Meaning
The painting depicts the Crucifixion, with a figure on the cross, angels above, and robed figures below. The scene is set against a soft blue sky with clouds and a rocky terrain, with some figures haloed and others indistinct.
Technique & Style
Kaiser employed loose brushstrokes and a dreamy quality in his copy, introducing a distinct style to the original work. The warm colours have faded slightly, lending the piece a gentle, aged appearance.
History & Provenance
The original Crucifixion is attributed to an unknown master, sometimes thought to be Duccio, and is located in the Upper Church of San Francesco, Assisi. Kaiser's copy was executed for the Arundel Society.
