Feb 9, 2015 at 11:00 comment added gideon marx I completely agree with you. Few artists would be prepared or know enough to get too graphically realistic. Judging by modern crucifixions, the shame of nudity is compounded by bodily functions. The modern crucified, like Jesus are not drugged as was the norm in ancient Israel. They are fully aware but as all their weight is on their arms they quickly die. As blood flow to the arms are severely restricted the arms swell up like balloons. That is also not depicted. Astonishingly somebody survived for three days and was released - an ancient custom to prove complete innocence of all wrongdoing.
