Description:
|
Taddeo Gaddi was Giotto's most important student, belonging to his workshop for twenty-four years. He produced a number of frescoes in Florence and Pisa, besides numerous panel paintings, but until his death in 1366 he was mainly active in Santa Croce, the Franciscan monastery in Florence, and his house and workshop were nearby. His late works, from around 1360, include the fresco of the Crucifixion in the sacristy, on the south wall. The flanking paintings were completed by Niccolò di Pietro Gerini and Spinello Aretino, some forty years later. Gerini painted the Resurrection and the Ascension at the top of the wall from 1390-1399. The Passion (Ascent to Calvary) is attributed to Spinello.
