context_page_description: The Oratorio di San Giorgio or St George's Oratory is a Gothic-style Roman Catholic chapel or prayer hall in Padua, region of Veneto, Italy. It is notable for its frescoed interiors.
context_section_description: The Crucifixion fresco on the wall above the altar depicts Christ on the cross while Mary weeps below, consoled by apostles and followers. His cross bears a sign reading “INRI,” an acronym for the Latin phrase Iēsus Nazarēnus, Rēx Iūdaeōrum (“Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews.”) Angels surround Christ in the sky, framing him as the central figure, directing the viewer’s eye back to him. Altichiero utilizes foreshortening on the flying angels and the grey horse in the foreground to create the illusion of a realistic perspective.
