From the early 1360s until the time of his death in 1399, Simone dei Crocifissi was one of the leading artists of Bologna. He was likely a pupil of his brother-in-law, Dalmasio di Jacopo Scannabecchi. His name is due to the sequence of four major crucifixes he supplied for Bolognese churches in about 1360-1365.
