The crucifixion is the only religious event or scene that has been represented in Irish art in virtually every century from the year 800 to the present day.Crucifixes and crucifixion scenes thus provide an ideal and consistent yardstick against which we can measure the achievements of Irish artists and craftsmen during the last dozen centuries or so. They can reflect not only the changes in art styles throughout this period, but also - through individual characteristics and the accompanying figures and objects - the changing theology down the years.Features forty-six B/W photos and four full colour plates.
