I was struck immediately by this crucifix, even though it does show Our Lord with regal vestments and a crown not of thorns, and no chest wound. There's something about the whole impression it makes that causes one to look twice, stop and think.

Good artist however, his Blessed Mother and some other works aren’t too nice

Here is one I bought years ago, it’s not as nice as the one above:

As an aside, but perhaps somewhat related to this thread: about 14 years ago full body size (and fairly expensive) authentic copies of the Shroud of Turin were donated to STAS in Winona.  Handsome frames were made by Br. Marcel and they were placed within them.  The negative and more highly defined images (front and back) were hung in the hallway leading to the chapel while the regular photographic images (front and back) were hung in the big downstairs classroom/lecture hall.  When STAS moved to its much more spacious quarters in Virginia all these holy and inspiring images were left behind and as far as I know remain left behind to this day.  I wonder why.

Still at Winona as of about a month ago even though they were donated to and for the seminary!

That’s a shame. What are they using Winona for now?
