Naked Christ in the cross: the problematic start of such representation

Abstract

It is not easy for the first Christian communities to reach with resolution the representation of the patole in which the child of God was (seemingly) defeated. The issue of execution (condemnation and curtailment), combined with the plastic problem (prone to idolatria), seems to explain the delay in reaching this first attempt of a cross that we will find only up to the IVth century. It is then the theological response that sought to overcome the inherited problem that denied or separated the divine condition from humans and the other then the role of devotional, spiritual and (if desired) littering of these representations. But well before the 15th century Humanist Renaissance, the 13th century francisism would have made this subject, with a particular veil of purity, a happy and first grammar entirely significant and even more unique for disclosure and aesthetics.
