Gerdardo eL NuevO... Davinci: Cristo muerto sostenido por un ángel

In my view this painting of Jesus Christ is an image a little sad because he is Jesus Christ's dying and an angel tries to help Jesus Christ so that will not die.

This image shows the suffering of Jesus after being accused and tortured.

In the face of the angel is also the pain that has to witness the death of Jesus, and tries to make him feel better but that is no longer possible.

In the rib of Jesus can be seen as wounded with a spear and this also causes pain, The more paint of jesus is that one of 12 apostles it betrayed and the townpeople too.

I really think this painting is actually the best I've seen in my life because I caused strange feelings and i can´t find in other paintings.

My own interpretation

I tried to interpret the suffering of Jesus to be betrayed and hurt physically. All that is in this picture.
Treason is represented as the foot of a friend over my body and see this causing a physical and mental pain as he is a great friend and this betrayal.
I am Catholic, and therefore have read is that Jesus was a good person.
I think that when the artist was doing this painting it,
he tried to make ourselves think what we are and to thinking what jesus suffered for us.

Thanks For your time!!
