Painting description
*The composition is separated into two parts by the body of Christ; to its right and left, the artist presents two groups of figures; the composition resembles The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci.
Christ with his eyes closed, standing out from a large dark background in reference to the eclipse described by Luke the Evangelist in verse 23:45, appears to be still alive. His head, encircled by a thin crown of thorns, is haloed in a clear light. His chest, harmonious and sensual, is also emphasized in a fading light.
The decor concentrates one’s eye on Christ, lit as the only subject worthy of adoration. The titulus includes the title in Latin.
The ten figures at the foot of the cross form a whole recounting the scene of the crucifixion. At the foot of the cross, Mary conveys the pain of losing her child. To the right of Christ and shown bearing the vest of volunteers of the Order of Malta, Jean the Baptist extends his hands towards Christ to give him life. This relationship between the two characters is important since John the Baptist who baptized Jesus now asks to be baptized by Christ, the son of God. With this event, it is now within the painting itself that John the Baptist requests that Christ grant him eternal life. John the Baptist, who is also the patron saint of the Order, assumes therefore his rightful place in the composition.
Disciple Mary Magdalene, present at the near right of Christ and attempting to assuage his pain, has witnessed both the crucifixion and death.
The military woman holding Mary Magdalene and John the Baptist represents a Roman soldier. This predominantly male role is here exercised by a woman to support the diversity of our contemporary societies.
The Roman governor Pilate, who judged that Jesus was not guilty, is the reason why Justice is represented by a lawyer. The two Roman soldiers, represented by policemen, prevent Justice from being carried out by blocking its path but also by trying to prevent it from touching Christ and thus redeem him.
The three characters equipped with digital objects (cameras and mobile phones) are villagers who have journeyed to Golgotha and the Crucifixion. They illustrate our society’s habit of immortalizing any uncommon scene in daily life and also represent the "paparazzi".
The artist manages to keep pace with the rhythms of nature in which the figures are in movement and alive. Flesh is palpable grace to the reliefs created.
Painted by Florin Nagy at the age of thirty, the work is an enthusiastic composition with a direct message for his contemporaries. The painting holds the ideal quantitative and qualitative balance. The colors and shapes are staged alternatively in a remarkable relationship with the structural design of the painting.
We can assume a lot of things in a painting, but there is still much to be discovered. In this work, Florin invites us to participate in the event created by him.
