Crucifixion 1410

Filippo Brunelleschi’s *Crucifixion*, created in 1410, is a wooden sculpture that stands in the church of Santa Maria Novella, Florence, Italy. This work is renowned for its naturalistic depiction of Christ’s body, emphasizing the suffering and human aspect of his death. The sculpture’s realistic anatomy and the intense gaze of Christ’s eyes contribute to a sense of pathos, capturing the emotional weight of the event. Brunelleschi’s work influenced Renaissance sculpture, showcasing a new emphasis on humanism and realism, moving away from the more stylized forms of Gothic art.
