Crucifixo

ca. 1150–1200
On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 02
Cristo está representado aqui com as características do século XII: triunfante sobre a morte, coroado e com os olhos abertos. Os detalhes lineares da barba e costelas, bem como dos trajes, são magistralmente esculpidos; grande parte da decoração pintada e dourada é original. A parte de trás é embelezada com uma imagem pintada do Cordeiro de Deus (Agnus Dei) no centro e os símbolos dos Evangelistas nas quatro extremidades, sugerindo que a cruz foi concebida para ser vista de ambos os lados. Existem versões contraditórias sobre a origem do Crucifixo; dizem que origina-se do convento de Santa Clara em Astudillo, próximo de Palencia, porém a fonte desta informação não é confiável.
