This image displays a large, ornate crucifix, centrally positioned against a painted architectural and figural background. The crucifix features a carved corpus of Christ, depicted with a gold loincloth and a reddish halo. The cross itself is dark, possibly green-stained wood, adorned with extensive gilded, scrolling foliate decorations that expand its form. Ten circular medallions are integrated into this gilded framework, some depicting cherubic faces, while others are less distinct. A rectangular plaque above Christ's head bears the inscription "INRI". The background consists of a frescoed wall. Trompe l'oeil architectural elements are visible, including fluted columns with Corinthian capitals, cornices, and draped pink fabric. In the lower left quadrant of the background, a painting portrays the Madonna and Child, with the Virgin Mary in blue and beige robes holding a naked infant. To the left of Christ's body, on the background wall, a white shield bearing a red cross is depicted, representing the civic emblem of Bologna. This emblem confirms the scene's location within the city of Bologna, Italy, likely inside a church or chapel.
