Crucifijo

ca. 1150–1200
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 02
La representación del Cristo, triunfante sobre la muerte, coronado y con los ojos abiertos, es característica del siglo XII. Los detalles lineares de la barba y el costillar, así como el ropaje, están tallados con maestría; gran parte de la decoración pintada y dorada es original. El reverso está embellecido con una imagen pintada del Cordero de Dios (Agnus Dei) en el centro y los símbolos de los evangelistas en los cuatro extremos, lo que sugiere que la cruz estaba hecha para ser vista por delante y por detrás. Existen versiones contradictorias sobre la procedencia del crucifijo; tal vez su emplazamiento original fue el convento de Santa Clara en Astudillo, cerca de Palencia, pero la fuente de información no es fiable.
