LOMBARDIA - Milano - Cathedral Museum
FILE : Milano Cathedral Museum 17
TITLE : The bad  Thief

LOCATION: Milano, Cathedral Museum

DIMENSIONS: 120 x 60 cms.

PROVENANCE: Milano, Cathedral New Testament window (sII)

CHRONOLOGY: 1544

AUTHOR: Currado Mochis da Colonia and his assistants (Giovanni de Croxis and Alessandro di Anversa) (attribution)

SUBJECT(S): The bad Thief - upper right panel of the Crucifixion

CRITICAL NOTES: This panel and the preceeding one (Museo 16) belong to the grandiose Crucifixion (window sXVII, panels 10 a-c, 11a-c) painted by Pietro da Velate to continue the cycle of the New Testament window (pre-1525). C. Mochis painted many panels to complete this stained glass window left unfinished as a result of Pietro's death, or, perhaps, as a result of an early breakage. (See Duomo 4) (C. Pirina).

CONDITION: In good condition although several heavy mending leads and some stopgaps. (The left hand does not belong to the figure of the thief).
