The Crucifixion; Saint Michael, c1480-1490. Creator: Lorenzo d'Alessandro
The Crucifixion; Saint Michael, c1480-1490. This double-sided painting originally functioned as a standard to be carried during processions and other religious ceremonies. It was probably made for the religious brotherhood (confraternity) devoted to Saint Michael in Matelica, a town in the Marches, a region in Central Italy. On one side is the Crucifixion with the mourning Virgin, the apostle John, and three angels catching Christ's blood in chalices. On the reverse, the archangel Michael tramples the devil and holds the scales in which he weighs a blessed soul. Kneeling at his feet are members of the brotherhood that commissioned the standard, clad in white habits with cowls, clothes typical of brotherhoods belonging to the Order of Flagellants (people who whip themselves to show penitence)
