Emerging half of the tank of the sarcophagus, face, hands folded, the three exposed wounds, Christ offers his distress in contemplation. A wooden cross is drawn behind his body.
Inspired by the Passion cycle, Christ of Mercy is a truly Byzantine creation which we find examples from the twelfth century. The Creto-Venetian versions of the subject are numerous. However, it can link this release to the art of Nicolaos Tasfouris. This Greek painter signed an important Latin Christ of Pity between the Virgin and Saint John (Vienna, Kunsthistorisches Museum) whose style and composition of Christ are identical to those of the latter.
