Bibblebub has it

[humbersloop]

^yep, corrected ;)

[Baldric]

The misplaced A did not help

[Carelvt]

I agree stateliness can work if I could get the answer to this: "Painter who created The Crucifixion" 7 letters ???i???

[factor-fiction]

Picasso?

[bibblebub]

assuming it must have a T in it, TIEPOLO is one possible answer of 7 letters (including T)

[Carelvt]

Sorry - if I use stateliness, then second letter will be T. ?T?i???

chirico

UTRILLO ?

utrillo

Stateliness is definitely right, Carelvt

[Carelvt]

Utrillo fits in perfectly, as well as stateleness. Thank you all!!!

[bibblebub]

if you're happy with it then ignore this...

i can't find any reference to a crucifixion painting by Utrillo because it's not the type of subject that he painted whereas Strozzi (7 letters, 2nd one a T) created a lot of religious works - however that would require that the I should be an O

[Carelvt]

Thank bibblebub. Utrillo also fits perfectly with my other clues!

[bibblebub]

i just wanted to cover all the bases

[factor-fiction]

I thought the painting one was an odd one because so many artists have depicted the crucifixion and, like bibblebub,I can't find anything to suggest Utrillo did
