The Crucifixion

CA$2,125.00
Only 1 available

Based on Michelangelo’s bronzes of the passion group, drawn from the version at the MET, New York. The titulus crucis and the mourning Sun and Moon are inspired by the reliquary of Pope Paschal II preserved at the Abbey of Sainte-Foy de Conques.

The configuration of the cross in the dragon’s mouth is taken from the 12th century Munich Psalter, Ms.Lat.17401. fol.105. In a sense the cross defeats the old dragon, in another, it emerges from it, as prophesized by John 3:14. My self-portrait as a flagellant in prayer the corner is based on Andres de Li’s Thessoro de la Passion, 1496.
