Man of Sorrows Wall Painting in the Cloisters, Sept. 2007

Man of Sorrows Wall Painting in the Cloisters, Sept. 2007
Man of Sorrows
Fresco transferred to canvas
Niccolo di Tommaso (active 1343-76)
Italy, Tuscany, Florence, about 1370

Accession # 25.120.241

This impressive devotional image by a follower of Nardo di Cione presumably came from a Florentine monastery. It may originally have been placed above a door, as here, or in a lunette beneath an arch, or possibly in a niche above a tomb. Shown as the Man of Sorrows, at once dead and alive, Christ displays the wounds of his Passion.

Text from the Cloisters label.
