Man of Sorrows Fresco transferred to canvas Niccolo di Tommaso (active 1343-76) Italy, Tuscany, Florence, about 1370 Accession # 25.120.241 This impressive devotional image by a follower of Nardo di Cione presumably came from a Florentine monastery. It may originally have been placed above a door, as here, or in a lunette beneath an arch, or possibly in a niche above a tomb. Shown as the Man of Sorrows, at once dead and alive, Christ displays the wounds of his Passion. Text from the Cloisters label.
