On the Crucifixion page, a single, continuous strand defines the cross, and two others comprise the frame, all interlocking into a <strong>cohesive whole<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exuberant though the interlace may be however, it does not detract from <strong>the focus on Christ\u2019s role in salvation history<\/strong> and the painter has conveyed masterfully both the human figure, especially in the <strong>musculature of Christ\u2019s torso<\/strong>, and the pathos of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Italian Scribe in France<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"block-hl
