This Palm Sunday image is a small painting by a 14th/15th century Venetian artist, Zanino di Pietro (born in Bologna).  It is tempera on panel (gold ground) and in a private collection.   As is customary with art depicting Our Lord's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, once again we see Zaccheus in a tree.

Palm Sunday Art Series - Giotto

 

This Palm Sunday image is a 14th century fresco by Giotto that is in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy.  Like many of the images on this theme, it shows Zaccheus in the tree he climbed to get a better view of Our Lord's triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
