The Three Living & The Three Dead, Tarrant Crawford, Dorset (‡Salisbury [Sarum]) Early C.14

Photo : T.Marshall 3 Living & 3 Dead, Tarrant Crawford [101KB] Detail, The Three Dead
They are very ghostly now, but these figures were painted with great skill, and the skeletal structure shows a very well-informed understanding of anatomy particularly evident in the knees and pelvic girdle of the central figure. The ragged draperies hanging from them are an uncommon detail, and contrast well with the rich clothing of the Three Living (who will be on here soon). The painted borders, edged in red ochre, are a feature of most of the other paintings, which include an Annunciation and a now rather obscure but very extensive Life of St. Margaret, on here soon.
