Crucifix

ca. 1150–1200
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 02
Voici un Christ en croix typique du XIIe siècle : victorieux de la mort, les yeux ouverts et couronné. La barbe et le thorax sont sculptés de contours accusés, tout comme les plis du pagne. Le décor peint et doré est en grande partie d’origine. Au dos du crucifix, l’Agneau de Dieu (Agnus Dei) peint au centre et les symboles des quatre évangélistes figurant aux extrémités font penser que la croix était faite pour être vue des deux côtés. La provenance reste incertaine : une seule source, d’ailleurs peu digne de foi, évoque le couvent de Santa Clara, à Astudillo, près de Palencia.
