The crucified Christ – full of sores and muck
Look at this magnificent altar piece commonly accepted that Matthias Grünewald
is the artist who painted it between 1510 – 1515. Bear in mind that there was
much controversy about who the author was. Is it magnificent? Maybe it is
better to describe it as gruesome?
And have a good look at the companion painting telling us the story of Christ’s
resurrection; the strong macho soldiers are prostrate...
