As was usual in Romanesque art, it is a four-nail type of crucifixion: Christ’s feet are placed in parallel, each hand and foot nailed to the cross. The sculpture shows the pose of Christ Triumphant over death. He wears a crown and his body and face reveal no signs of suffering. During the course of the 13th century, this motif was replaced by depictions of Christ dying in agony on the cross. In keeping with late medieval piety, the aim was to inspire the worshipper to relive Christ’s suffering. Sculpturehttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/4736/rdf
