The Master of the Blue Crucifixes was an Italian artist active either in the region of Umbria or Emilia during the second third of the thirteenth century. He is associated with the Basilica of San Francesco d’Assisi and may have been an assistant of Giunta Pisano whose work his paintings resemble. A number of his works mainly processional crucifixes (from which along with his favoring of blue paint as a background his name is derived) survive.
