# Crucifixion [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MEDIEVAL SCULPTOR, German]() - Date: 1201-1250 - Technique: Stone ## Commentary The statues of the Crucifixion group do not just tell stories with their bodies, as do those on the exteriors of Gothic cathedrals like Reims. Here, sobbing and tearful, wringing their hands in grief, they provide stations of emotional identification, faces with which one can empathize and onto which one can project feelings. Christ sagging body, too, represents a new naturalism in the depiction of tortured flesh. ## Related artworks - [Angel Noting down Man's Good Deeds]() - [Angels' Pillar \(detail\)]() - [Angels' Pillar \(detail\)]() - [Angels' Pillar \(detail\)]() - [Angels' Pillar \(detail\)]() - [Angels' Pillar \(detail\)]() - [Angels' Pillar]() - [Animal column]() - [Bamberg Rider]() - [Burial chamber \(interior\)]() - [Burial chamber \(western outer wall\)]() - [Capital with bearded mask and heads]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
