Luca Cambiaso (1527-85)
The Erection of the Three Crosses c.1550-75
-
A drawing of the scene before the Crucifixion: figures preparing the crosses, Christ seated on a cross centre right, the two thieves brought in by soldiers to upper right, a cavalcade of soldiers to the left. A pair to RCIN 906844. The early inscription 'Cambiaso' or 'Cangiaso' on the verso is visible through the backing, and though there are many similar drawings extant by followers of Cambiaso, these two are of a quality that supports an attribution to Cambiaso himself.
