The Crucifixion. The Cross is in the centre, with Mary Magdalene at its foot and the Virgin and St John to the left, surrounded by Roman cavalry and foot soldiers. A soldier on the left holds a shield charged with a scorpion, and another to the right of the Cross holds a scorpion standard. The crosses of the two malefactors are further back. In the sky above them is the sun on the left, and the moon on the right. The raised edge is yellow. The back is inscribed in greyish-black: 'DIRVTI/ISSVI'.referenceexhibition-1613adlib-exhibition-161314ebcb02-6902-3d77-86f1-2632430766a6The Fine Art and Antiques Fairno cataloguereferenceexhibition-1605adlib-exhibition-160504d3c358-0bef-3d8f-8df5-14f16987ac1bItalian Maiolica in the Fitzwilliam Museumreferenceexhibition-1658adlib-exhibition-16584889ef48-e773-3b77-8070-657c87a2145eLight of the World; Christ's story told through Artplate 86referenceexhibition-2806adlib-exhibition-28066e1b65bf-b6bc-3f65-8be7-5ea2aab18496Madonnas and Miracles.

It is attributed to Giacomo Mancini, known as 'El Frate' (the Friar), who was the most significant exponent of istoriato decoration there in the mid sixteenth century. He was recorded as a painter in 1540, and several lustred and polychrome dishes signed by him between 1541 and 1545 survive and these have enabled others to be attributed to him. By the 1550s his style had matured but several characteristics of his hand remained constant, providing links with his earlier work. One of the most noticeable was his treatment of horses' heads and ears, which can be seen clearly on this panel, as can the tousled hair which many of his figures have. Some of his finest work was done in the 1560s, such as a large dish decorated with Parnassus, dated 1564, in the Musée Alexis-Forel at Morges. He died in or shortly before 1581 when his sons divided the family goods between them.
This Crucifixion may have been influenced by two prints, both of which include horses: a Calvary, by a follower of Marcantonio Raimondi and another dated 1541, probably after Francesco Salviati. The sun and moon are shown to express the mourning of the whole universe at Christ's death. The scorpions on the banner and on one shield conventionally that the holders were sinners. They were also symbols of treachery, and therefore also refer to the betrayal of Christ by Judas.
The holes in each corner indicate that it was intended to be attached to a wall.referenceterm-125332adlib-term-12533276f10b5d-9bf4-36d4-b4e3-f4df05af826016th Century, third quarter#referenceterm-10618adlib-term-106189ebc0ae1-8cf8-312b-832c-9cf44da02136Renaissancereferenceterm-110784adlib-term-110784306cbe64-9c29-347d-bae9-6fa7b2d98848literalItalyItalycountryliteralUmbriaUmbriaregionDerutareferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwareDepthcm2.5Heightcm40Widthcm41.3referencemedia-200524adlib-media-2005242ea25980-7a8c-3c7c-98c7-2ca7a62a6ffdjpegaa/aa35/MAR_C_57_1912_201602_kly25_dc2.jpg1heightpixels867widthpixels102417029267431691imagejpegaa/aa35/mid_MAR_C_57_1912_201602_kly25_dc2.jpg1heightpixels423widthpixels50017029267431691imagejpegaa/aa35/MAR_C_57_1912_201602_kly25_dc2.jpg1heightpixels867widthpixels102417029267431691imagejpegaa/aa35/preview_MAR_C_57_1912_201602_kly25_dc2.jpg1heightpixels212widthpixels25017029267431691image0media
