A God's-eye view. Good job, Salvador! I hadn't seen that before--thanks for adding it, Mary-Lou.

I must say, I find the prospect of interacting with the tens of thousands of crucifixion images to be daunting. But I think Dali's, by virtue of its unique perspective, just qualified. And when that time comes, if I forget to include it, I trust you will.

The most dramatic painting on the Crucifixion is this by Salvador Dali, in my opinion. As if seen from the eye of God. One of the most poignant Psalm, in his extreme suffering Jesus has a very human experience, this sense of abandonment, of being forsaken. It is the cry of humanity, of the suffering all experience in “the dark night of our soul”.
