Carlo Crivelli brings characteristic skill to the subject, creating a work that demonstrates the range and ambition of fifteenth-century Italian painting Carlo Crivelli developed a highly distinctive style combining Gothic ornament, trompe-l'oeil illusion, and intense emotionalism that remained largely independent of mainstream Florentine influences.
