The Rimini Crucifix is a tempera and gold painting on wood (430x303 cm) attributed to Giotto, datable to around 1301-1302 and preserved in the Malatesta Temple in Rimini. The stylistic analysis of the work allows us to post-date the crucifix after that of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, due to the slimmer figure and the softer and more fused painting in the Rimini one, in harmony with the works of the Paduan period. The sad but not dramatic air of Christ's face nevertheless indicates that the work preceded the crucifix in Padua and subsequent ones, where Christ has a more suffering face. Also the number of semicircle or quarter circle decorations on the corners of the cross, in an intermediate number between those completely absent in Florence and the numerous ones in Padua or the Ognissanti Crucifix, allow us to pre-date the Rimini crucifix with respect to that of Padua. A dating around 1301-1302 therefore seems the most correct and is now accepted by most scholars. Read more : https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocifisso_di_Rimini
