Mathis Gruenwald



I'm taking a break from all my verbalizing, to show some images. Gruenwald(1480-1528) is justifiably remembered for his rather "grue-some" depiction of Christ's crucifixion. These two images I find quite powerful: "The Resurrection"(above) and "The Agony of St. Anthony"(below.)



(extra credit: do you know how St. Anthony is linked to L.S.D.? Clue: "St. Anthony's Fire.")
