Crocifisso

ca. 1150–1200
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 02
Il Cristo è rappresentato in una posa caratteristica del XII secolo: trionfante sulla morte, con gli occhi aperti e la corona sul capo. I motivi sulla barba e le costole del torace sono scolpiti con vigore, come pure il drappeggio del perizoma; la decorazione dipinta e dorata è in buona parte originale. Il retro è adornato con un’immagine dipinta dell’Agnello di Dio (Agnus Dei) al centro e i simboli dei quattro evangelisti alle estremità, lasciandoci intendere che la croce era stata progettata per essere vista da entrambi i lati. La sua ubicazione originaria è dubbia: pare che provenga dal convento di Santa Clara ad Astudillo, vicino a Palencia, ma la fonte che lo afferma non è affidabile.
