Eulalia said:
Four persons were crucified, viz. not nailed but tied with their hands and feet stretched out at full length, in an erect posture. In this posture they were to remain till death; every thing they wished to eat was ordered them with a view to prolong their lives and misery. In cases like this, the legs and feet of the criminals begin to swell and mortify at the expiration of three or four days; some are said to live in this state for a fortnight, and expire at last from fatigue and mortification. Those which I saw, were liberated at the end of three or four days.

One of my great 'unknowns' was what happened in a rope-crucifixion with food, this answers it.

No matter what technique is employed, it seems that if the intention is to kill, crucifixion will, even if no actual violence/ trauma is used.

there must be - or have been - a Eulalia on DevArt,
cos I wasn't allowed to use that username,
but I've never troubled to track her down.
The colour is rather favoured by Hindu deities like Kali

Nailing me to a random tree would probably put a quicker stop to any thoughts of blackmail :p

Imagine how much more Eulalia would write if she had 4 arms. She could type on 4 keyboards at once.
 
Very intriguing - here's the whole painting:

O Inferno.jpg

Naturally makes one think of Hieronymus Bosch, but if the date 1510-20 is right,
it's pretty unlikely the Portuguese artist would have seen his version of Hell in
The Garden of Earthly Delights, which he was probably working on 1490-1510.
But the artist might have been familiar with Dante's Inferno, there are possible references to that.
One rather sad detail is the portrayal of Satan in Native (Brazilian) American head-dress,
as if they were assumed to be 'devils' - but an online catalogue entry from the museum
points out that, in a slightly earlier painting, one of the Magi is portrayed as a Native Brazilian.

I guess in a way ... so did I. :p

A little in high school and a touch in, what little college I took.

Thought it was the wine but it turned out to be ... me!

Thanks to those who tended this thread while I was away :)
