O soše
Crucified Christ, carved around 1340–1350, is in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland. The head droops after death, eyes almost closed and mouth parted beneath a crown of thorns. Visible ribs and bony limbs lengthen the frail body. Heavy strands of hair fall beside the face, while folds in the loincloth interrupt the downward lines. The sculpture belongs to a Middle Rhine tradition of crucifixes and pietàs produced from around 1300 for more than a century, especially represented in Cologne. Such images suited Rhenish mystics' meditation on Christ's Passion. On view in room 109.
Slovy muzea
The striking impression of this figure is the vivid representation of suffering. The sculpture captures the moment after Christ’s death: the drooping head on a frail neck is a mask of agony. The eyes are nearly shut, the mouth is ajar, and the forehead crowned by heavy, gouging thorns is drawn with pain. The elongation of the body is emphasized by the emaciated chest with protruding ribs and bony limbs. The resulting sense of frailty and pathos is augmented by the heavy strands of hair that uncurl alongside the tormented face and by the loincloth folds that break the downward drape of the body. The sculpture belongs to a group of emotional crucifixes and pietas carved in the Middle-Rhine region for over a century beginning around 1300, examples of which are principally found in the city of Cologne. Such sculptures appealed to the Rhenish mystics, who advocated meditation based on the Passion of Christ.
