Search the Collections Muzeum Cyfrowe dMuseion - Chrystus Ukrzyżowany Rzeźba należy do typu wyobrażeń ukształtowanych pod wpływem nurtu mistycznego w teologii, które w niezwykle wstrząsający sposób przywołują bezmiar cierpień zadanych Chrystusowi podczas Pasji. Tak pojęty obraz Ukrzyżowanego określany jest w literaturze mianem bolesnego (crucifixus dolorosus). Jego istotą było wzbudzenie żarliwości dolorystycznej prowadzącej do najwyższego przeżycia - mistycznego zjednoczenia wiernego z cierpiącym Chrystusem.
