"Crucifixion (1310s)" is a fresco attributed to the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, a seminal figure in the pre-Renaissance period who is renowned for his contributions to the development of realistic representation in Western art. The fresco is part of a series of works that adorn the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy, also known as the Arena Chapel, which is considered one of Giotto's masterpieces and a landmark in the evolution of European painting.

The "Crucifixion" fresco is situated on the south wall of the chapel and depicts the biblical scene of Jesus Christ's crucifixion, a central event in Christian iconography. Giotto's interpretation of the Crucifixion is noted for its emotional impact, humanized figures, and the use of space and perspective, which were innovative for the time. The composition presents a dramatic narrative, with mourners expressing grief and soldiers casting lots for Christ's garments, set against a stark landscape that enhances the solemnity of the event.

Giotto's work on the Scrovegni Chapel frescoes, including the "Crucifixion," is dated to between 1305 and 1306, although some art historians suggest the work may have extended to the 1310s. The frescoes were commissioned by Enrico Scrovegni, a wealthy Paduan banker, who intended the chapel as an atonement for his father's sin of usury, as well as a family mausoleum.

The "Crucifixion" and the other frescoes in the chapel are celebrated for their departure from the stylized forms of Byzantine art that dominated the period, moving towards a more naturalistic and expressive approach. Giotto's innovative techniques, particularly in the portrayal of three-dimensional space and the human body, had a profound influence on subsequent generations of artists and are often cited as a precursor to the Renaissance.

The Scrovegni Chapel, along with Giotto's frescoes, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1986, recognizing its outstanding universal value and the artist's role in the history of art. The "Crucifixion" remains a key work for scholars studying the development of Western painting and the transition from medieval to Renaissance art.
