Coronation of Christ

Category : ,

“Ecce Homo” - Peter Paul Rubens, c. 1610.
“The Last Judgment“- Jean Bellegambe the Elder, 16th century.

For us, the coronation of Christ one of the most interesting  moments of the entire Passion, assigning a grotesque tone of mockery to the whole scene.
With this design we decided to place the image of a Christ over the humanity, represented here by the lower skull and emphasised by the three-dimensional pyramid.
Christ himself is portrayed with the crown of thorns and eyes looking to the sky, seeing “Basileae” which means realm or domain, the New Jerusalem promised by the Father.
The top head we also exhibits the expression “Scrutamini scripturas”- Let us see the Scripture (Bible) – which appears as a kind of knowledge, dogmatic and ritualistic.

From a different point of view, Christ seems to devour humanity.

Do not hide your crown
