Fra Angelico, The Crucifixion: Detail, Jeremiah

1441-43
Fresco
Convent of San Marco, Florence

This detail is from the border around the main image of the Crucifixion. The banderole reads O vos omnes qui transitis per viam, attendite, et videte si est dolor sicut dolor meus!, "O all ye that pass by the way, attend, and see if there be any sorrow like to my sorrow" (Lamentations 1:12). As with the other prophets' banderoles, the reference is to Christ's sorrow in the Crucifixion.
