Mather, Cleveland, Ohio. date: footnotes: citations: --- fun fact: digital description: wall description: This panel would have originally been part of a much larger window. It represents the crucified Christ at the moment of death on the cross. Christ is flanked by two angels, one of which collects blood in a chalice from the wound in his right hand, a symbol of the Eucharistic wine. This potent symbol is reinforced by the scrolling vines with grapes. The window would have very likely been located behind an altar in a church where the symbolism would have resonated with the celebration of the Mass. --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES web: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1948.131/1948.131_web.jpg print: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1948.131/1948.131_print.jpg full: https://openaccess-cdn.clevelandart.org/1948.131/1948.131_full.tif
