Today is Good Friday, and what better way to close out the mini-series of Avignon pictures than with this sculpture of Christ on the cross located in front the palace of the popes (see yesterday’s entry). I haven’t spent a great deal of time on it, but I have not been able to find the name of the artist (if you know, dear reader, please contact me). The author of a French web page I came across wrote that he missed the original wooden Christ figure which was replaced a few years ago by what he described as “cold resin”. While Good Friday is not a national holiday in France, Easter Monday is, so we are looking forward to a three-day weekend. Sadly, we will need to devote a good part of it to our French tax return. Talk about being crucified...
