Combining three temporal horizons—past, present, and eschatological future—within an unparalleled allegorical presentation of the Crucifixion, this panel grants precedence to Clare of Assisi over Francis, founder of the Franciscan Order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProbably created for a nun, Lorenzetti's painting turns abstruse allegory into a vehicle for a self-conscious meditation on the power of painting itself.
