Gero Crucifix Analysis

198 Words1 Page

I decided to utilize the Gero Crucifix, this basically represents the crucifixion of Jesus in a life size scale and also made out of gold. It is very interesting the design and style that this particular artwork showcases, I like the idea of utilizing gold for its creation, not only because of the color but also because we have always seen gold as something almost very strange to have in our possession because of its money value; therefore, I think gold is a material that we could consider almost godly or magic, almost like diamond or emerald, and this potentially creates a strong connection with this particular piece of artwork because it is certainly related to Jesus and religion itself, which, most of the times makes us relate any artwork

This meant finding background and details about them would be challenging. Of the art pieces, the Statue of Hercules or the “Lansdowne Herakles” was the one that I chose to write about.
