O soše
Corpus from a Crucifix, carved about 1130–1140, once belonged to a large wooden cross and is now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. By the eleventh century, painted wooden crucifixes commonly occupied church interiors, standing on the principal altar or hanging above it. They recalled Christ's sacrifice, renewed in the Mass performed below. The surviving body comes from that devotional setting, where the crucifix prompted people to pray and consider humanity's redemption through Christ. On view in gallery 106B.
Slovy muzea
By the 11th century, monumental crucifixes carved from wood and painted were a common feature of church interiors. Placed on or suspended above the main altar, they reminded viewers of Christ’s sacrifice on behalf of mankind at the Crucifixion, an event reenacted every time Mass was celebrated on the altar below. Crucifixes also invited prayer and meditation on Christ’s role as Redeemer. This fragmentary but finely carved corpus, or body of Christ, once belonged to such a crucifix.
