Description

I noticed and loved this piece of art while touring Cordoba Mosque-Cathedral in Spain. Originally built as a mosque and very representative of Arabic architecture, Cordoba was converted to a Christian cathedral in the 13th century by the Roman Catholic Church. It is an amazing place to visit, not only to see the astoundingly beautiful architecture but the huge complex is filled with beautiful art. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to find much about this piece in my research, but I do know that it is lovely work and stands out as a moving artistic representation of Jesus Christ before his crucifixtion. The artist conveys the agony of the moment not only on the face of Christ but through the position, kneeling with uplifted hands of acceptance and resignation.
