The Agony Component.

Go to CruxDreams.com
There are several St Julias, including one who was a friend of Eulalia of Merida and was martyred with her,​
but I think von Max was probably thinking of Julia of Corsica - a girl from Carthage sold into slavery by the Vandals,​
the slave-ship en route to Masillia (Marseilles) stopped off at Corsica​
where Julia refused to take part in a pagan festival, so was crucified.​
What, not a "virgin martyr"??? Eul, you please tree

:cool:
 
I need to repost this one.

I first saw these at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The first time this former altar boy saw Jesus crucified naked.

These are not by Michelangelo, but by one of his students. I wonder if the Inquisition burned him at the stake.

Yusebby drew Pirata, Jastrow did his take on it.

There's a backstory. Pompey The Great got his "Great" designation by suppressing the Cilician Pirates, who in the mid-first century B.C. devastated commerce in the Mediterranean.

Crassus defeated the Spartacus revolt, and in the aftermath crucified 6,000 rebellious slaves along the Via Appia.

Pompey negotiated with the pirates, and found they were pirating because they had no other way to make a living.

He granted them lands upon which they could become farmers. The pirates accepted.

Pirate problem over.

Yusebby's and Jastrow's images are from a parallel universe in which Pompey went with Crassus's strategy.

The men have all been crucified. These are what's left. The wives, the daughters, the sisters. I don't want to think what happened to the children.

Esclavos Crucifidad.pdg was done by DeMullotto. It's a render of an actual crux scene done a decade ago by Bridgette and Diane, two other names with which to conjure in crux circles.

DeMullotto is gravely ill. Hold him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Not sure who did this one. But it's one of my favorites.
It's a nice one, Apostate, don't know or remember who did it, but looks Makar inspired

Got this word today about DeMullotto

I received word that De is doing a bit better. He has undergone a successful operation for his condition and should have his feeding tube removed this week and perhaps even sent home within the next fortnight.

Please keep up your thoughts and prayers. I will keep the group posted.

Has there been further, disappointing, news since?

no but Welsh Web opened on foundation a thread.
I'll ask him to do the same here
but.................:oops:
 
My thoughts are with DeMullotto and his family. Lots.

I treasure the manip he made for me, which I've posted a lot. A young woman dying naked and in agony by a Roman roadside, and the sight is so commonplace that passersbys don't even linger to watch.

D, you are a treasure.

I've always liked that one too. I've always liked the juxtaposition of life going on around the victim.
 
From the latest CruxDreams post, the breathtaking Sveta.

Enjoy.
