So that isn't foreshortening at all - in fact his shins are half the length they ought to be and so are his feet. No wonder he needs help standing up.

Jesus also seems to have a slight Beadle hand situation going on.

What is going on in that picture anyway? Bakula has a mallet and a big nail, so has he been nailing that Jesus fella to the cross? But he's in modern day clothing, not dressed up as a Roman centurion, so he's been up to something else? (whilst not monitoring his blood sugar levels) He's not near anything you'd be hammering in a nail.

I thought he might be a stone mason and it's a chisel not a nail. After that its a bit unclear.

Its HeadGardeners responsibility to furnish more info really isnt it?

Curious so I looked it up.

QuoteThe scene of "Forgiven" is Mt. Calvary. A despairing man has a mallet in one hand and a large spike in the other. Both symbolize that each of us is responsible for Christ's death on the cross. Jesus Christ is holding up this broken man; at Christ's feet are broken chains, representing the sin that was overcome at Calvary. There is a trace of blood on Christ's hands, and in the place where the blood has fallen, lilies have grown.

So there you go. It's quite a popular bit of american religious kitsch it seems from big prints to xmas decorations, even though it really does seem like he ran out of space at the bottom of canvas for Christ's legs so His proportions are like Cotton Hill. Thomas Blackshear II b.1955.

Eh? I thought we were absolved of all that because of the crucifixion. But this seems to suggest Christ got nailed up just to make us all guilty, like some passive aggressive mother.

He died for OUR sins matey. if you didn't sin He wouldn't have to pick you up and hobble you over the line with his little legs

This doesn't count because the dirty beggars are probably actually doing it in that photo.
