 Both these works were probably painted between 1401 and 1407, the date of Jacobello's first surviving, verified painting.The Matthiesen "Crucifixion" contains allusions to Jerusalem and to biblical imagery such as the Golgotha, the location where Jesus was crucified.The older gothic style that Jacobello often used, exemplified by the Matthiesen "Crucifixion", is characterized by distinct composition and posing of figures in front or side view, sweeping lines, and vivid colors, though the scheme of the Matthiesen "Crucifixion" is especially bright.
