About the piece

Attributed to the artist Jacone, this intricate oil on panel from circa 1600 presents a complex theological vision. The composition is divided into three distinct realms: the celestial triumph of Christ, the earthly assembly of the faithful within a grand architectural courtyard, and the subterranean suffering of souls alongside a chained demonic figure at the foot of the cross.
