 In the Matthiesen "Crucifixion", Christ hangs on his cross in the center of the scene, dividing the followers of Christ on the left with the soldiers on the right.These details reveal that the author of the painting must have been familiar with the Late Gothic movement of the mainland and had Venetian training as well, due to the depiction of Longinus who lances Christ and the centurion who orders Christ's legs to be broken, two figures that also appear in Altichiero's "Crucifixion" in the Oratorio di San Giorgio, and also the city wall that closes the scene, a technique used by Paolo Veneziano.Similarly, art historian Carlo Volpe noted that a series of small Passion panels painted in the 1390s––"Agony in the Garden" (Vatican Picture Gallery), "Lamentation" (Vatican Picture Gallery), "Way to Calvary" (British Royal Collection), and "Arrest of Christ ("private collection)––share a Paduan influence and stylistic similarity with that of the Matthiesen "Crucifixion"."
