Christ Crucified, Jesus Christ hangs from the cross with blood dripping from his head, hands, and feet. A sign above him references the Scripture from John 19:19-20, " Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek."
