Summary[edit]

Description
English: Painted crucifix

1490-1500
Antonio da Saliba (about 1466-1535)
Italy, Sicily
Oil on wood

Painted crucifixes were often displayed high up on a screen between the nave and the chancel. The pelican at the top refers to the belief that female pelicans pierced their own breast to feed their blood to their young. Christians therefore used the pelican as a symbol of Christ.
