  Extreme close-up and details of the statue of a wooden cross made in Bologna (Italy) in 1626 by an unknown craftsman.
  Nowadays it is the Altar crucifix of the Cathedral of Cesena, Emilia-Romagna, Italy.

•  Question (Unknown artist, not craftsman, to me, but that's a tangent.) Does it hang diagonally in the cathedral? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:15, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

  Yes, a little and also it is not perpendicular but slightly inclined. I chose this angle for the effect of the shadows produced by the head and the crown of thorns on the body, particularly on the chest. I have also uploaded other versions, from which one can understand a certain difficulty in photographing the object due to the surrounding lighting coming from three sources: two natural ones, from the large side windows, and finally a spotlight aimed almost from above, mostly from the left side, which expertly completes the vision and emphasizes the expression of the statue's face.

  Regarding the use of the word artisan, it is because in Bologna, in the 17th century, there was an advanced school that created statues in series to embellish important (and less important) Italian churches and cathedrals, just as bread is baked today. For the quality of the statue, especially for how it presents itself, it is probably right to talk more about artists than professional craftsmen. Terragio67 (talk) 03:28, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

• All understood. I think this is good work by the crucifix-makers and you, so I  Support. I love how they put facial hair on the crucifix. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:02, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment Changed the gallery link to the Statues indoors section where most similar photos are located. --Aristeas (talk) 06:49, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

  I am happy with your decision to change the gallery link to Commons:Featured pictures/Objects/Sculptures#Statues indoors, because the extreme close-up of the image serves precisely to focus on some details of the statue, which are normally not easily visible to everyone from the inside the Church.

* Support The sculpture radiates a greater vulnerability due to the lack of hair on the head, which touches me deeply. The inclination of the crucifix also conveys, in my opinion, the chaos of suffering. -- Radomianin (talk) 12:32, 17 October 2023 (UTC) I withdraw my support in favour of the more balanced alternative version. -- Radomianin (talk) 20:41, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Oppose Little wow for me. Easy shot, super common subject, annoying left white band and upper left corner element, hard light and strong highlights. One could say it's sharp but that's the least we can ask. Nice QI probably. - Benh (talk) 13:13, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose The angle of the cross clashes with the background and distracting stonework. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:05, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Charlesjsharp. -- Karelj (talk) 16:18, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

( Alternativeː Wider shot )

• Gallery: Commons:Featured_pictures/Objects/Sculptures#Statues_indoors
•  Info I would like to propose a wider shot, where the lateral bands of the background and the disturbing architectural stone elements seem to be better distributed, giving balance to the composition. Please let me know if you share (even partially) my impression, thank you. c/u/n by Terragio67 -- Terragio67 (talk) 16:31, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
•  Support I prefer the photo of the whole crucifix. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:52, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
•  Support The alternative gives a more harmonious appearance due to the overall view of the cross. -- Radomianin (talk) 20:41, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

•  Oppose All my points from my previous vote still stand (background is actually even more distracting). - Benh (talk) 10:31, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
•  Question It looks like tilted. Is it like that, or is it an effect of perspective? Yann (talk) 10:38, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

  Yes, it's slighly tilted and vertically inclined, what I can say furthermore is that the angle chosen amplifies everything. As mentioned above, the cleverly positioned artificial light creates a horizontal shadow effect on the chest, which in my sincere opinion makes the statue interesting and prolongs the attention of those who see the work. The angle chosen allows you to clearly perceive what has been described so far. Terragio67 (talk) 12:40, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
