Crucifixion

The Crucifixion has been pictured in a variety of ways. Before the 13th century Christ was commonly shown with his eyes open as a sign of his resurrection to follow. Since the early Renaissance it has been more typical to focus on Christ's suffering and so images of the Crucifixion have depicted Christ in agony. Whichever the form however, the Crucifixion is of course the point where these two images coincide.
