Description
While African heroes are almost always portrayed as "heroic," as if their superhuman deeds would leave them unchallenged, the suffering of Jesus that leads to his death and resurrection is a central tenet for Christians. The musculature of Leinberher's Christ, who had never before been portrayed in such a Herculean form, palpably demonstrates the doctrine of the Incarnation: God becoming human in Christ.
