Attention to Detail

It's heartbreaking, some of the details on the Stations of the Cross bronzes. With this one of Jesus hanging on the cross, it's not only life-sized, but horribly realistic. Note the bleeding wound, the hundreds of tiny cuts on His skin, how his muscles and tendons are straining to relieve the horrible pressure from being nailed to the cross.

Yes , heartbreaking is the word, he paid a very high price for our sins.

Yes, He did.

I am going to do other posts on this bronze and the other two. It feels strange calling them "statues" or "bronzes" because they seem so life-like.

Thanks for posting!
