Simone de Crocifissi | 1355-1399

Currently on display: Palazzo Farnese Civic Museums, Art Gallery

This small painting of the Adoration of the Magi is characterised by a marked liveliness, typical of Bolognese painting of the period. The scene is rich and detailed; the figures’ gestures and lively expressions are particularly striking. Specifically, the painting is of fine quality and small in size, as it is a religious work created for private devotion.
