People say this is one of the most difficult picture of Christ to view... I agree. I was studying this piece in my art appreciation class today and it was so moving that I had to literally cover the picutre. The one in my text actually shows hints of blue, informing the viewer that rigor mortis has set in, indicating that he has been dead for a few days. What do you think?

Hi Virginia,
Thanks for posting that picture on your blog. I think I mentioned that I'm teaching Humanities 2 this semester, and thanks to you I'm going to make it a special point to spend some time discussing this painting in class.
See you tomorrow...
