{"product_id":"crucified-christ-fra-angelico","title":"Crucified Christ - Fra Angelico","description":"\u003cp\u003eA serene and meditative fresco by Fra Angelico, depicting the crucified Christ against a deep, atmospheric background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is a fresco by the Dominican friar and painter Fra Angelico, created during his time at the Convent of San Marco in Florence. The composition is austere, focusing entirely on the figure of Christ upon the cross against a dark, atmospheric background. The artist employs a restrained palette, allowing the pale, luminous flesh tones of the central figure to emerge from the deep blue void.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFra Angelico was known for his devotional approach to painting, and this piece reflects the meditative environment of the monastic cells for which it was intended. The figure of Christ is rendered with anatomical clarity, yet the treatment remains stylised to suit the theological purpose of the image. The cross itself is set upon a small, mound-like base, which provides a grounding element to the otherwise ethereal composition. The surrounding frame is decorated with geometric patterns and motifs, typical of the period's interest in architectural borders within painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike many depictions of the crucifixion that include a crowd of mourners or narrative details, this version isolates the subject to encourage individual contemplation. The light source appears to emanate from the figure itself, creating a sense of quietude. The drapery of the loincloth is handled with precision, showing the influence of early fifteenth-century Florentine naturalism. This print captures the texture of the original plaster surface, preserving the subtle variations in colour that define the fresco technique. It is a piece that invites quiet observation, suitable for spaces where a sense of calm and historical depth is desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fra Angelico","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58893489537359,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58894119928143,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58894119960911,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58894119993679,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58894120026447,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Crucified-Christ_Poster_CompositorV1_1790373318896.jpg?v=1790444698","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/crucified-christ-fra-angelico","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
