Have found this after learning what I could about Soria Aedo. This work of Christ being physically abused by some, others looking on in horror and disgust, and some one ready to heave a great stone up Christ's body. I must have stared at it for an hour searching and searching for some tremendous reason - in my head - came up with no answers. Being born and raised Catholic I knew immediately that this was a portrayal of what, in this artist's imagination, happened to Christ after being taken down from the cross. A portrayal by an artist I had never heard of, and who had with such tremendous skill brought forth from his work, another and much more graphic look at those who would continue to crucify him if given a chance. Thank you for such a tremendously interesting website. Thank you, again! Richard.
