Unfortunately the restoration by Umberto Baldini and his wife sullied the painting, still very worthy observation

That's what I said : not explicitly but clearly suggested. The Jews never mentioned the Trinity in their other scriptures. Elohim is plural you're right. i started this exchange only for the pleasure of talking with you :-) It seems that the dogm of the Trinity was only explicitly detailed by the Concils. being a Christian means beleiving in the reality of the Trinity.

its supposed to be a 'Sensual' piece by the fact that it has erotic undertones and by the way that the feather is draped down his leg, in effecting his senses.

Excellent. Please do a video(better yet,a series )on the Pantheon in Rome.

Thank you so much for the upload, this video is very helpful!

''LA LAMENTACION SOBRE CRISTO MUERTO '' ES, DE LEJOS, LA OBRA DE ARTE QUE MAS ME HA IMPACTADO EN TODA MI VIDA,,,ESAS MUJERES DE ESPALDAS, ESOS ANGELITOS DESESPARADOS, LA TERNURA CONQUE MARIA CONTEMPLA A SU HIJO MUERTO,,,,,,UFFFFFFFF,

Somehow, I don't feel the horror that is supposed to be invoked here. The characters are rather cartoon-like, so instead of feeling horror at the reality of their situation, it feels more like a black comedy. It's cartoon violence where the characters don't bleed and never actually die no matter how fatal their accident. That may not have been the Bishop's intention, but I feel quite sure that it was the sculptor's. Quite missing are any actual instruments of torture such as the Medieval mind was so capable of inventing during the Inquisition. Nowhere are the fires of Hell evident. The demons do indeed look hideous, but then so do the gargoyles which have no more significance than the little beasts who's entwined limbs form the knots around an initial on an illuminated manuscript page.
