On the cross, Christ looks down upon the crowd mocking Him: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing,” He says (Luke 23:34). Every detail of this crucifix was handcrafted with the utmost dedication. The crown of thorns, the drapery, Christ’s fatigued lineaments: everything shows itself in work of subtle beauty, flawlessly expressing the tragedy of the crucifixion.
