This painting shows a crucified man at the center, with his arms outstretched and his body wrapped in a white cloth. He has a halo around his head and a red sash across his chest. Two angels with wings and halos are on either side of him, one holding a staff and the other a book. Below him are three people: a woman in a red robe with her hands raised, a man in a black robe kneeling with his hands clasped, and another man in a red robe with his hands clasped. The background of the painting is yellow, and there is a red border around the edges with intricate designs. The overall mood of the painting is one of reverence and devotion. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this work, you might want to look up Spinello Aretino.
