Best of Easter

Today is Easter, so here's some Jesus. 

I chose these not as religious pieces of art, rather images that depict Jesus as a human—a dying and dead human in gruesome detail. Enjoy!

View fullsize  Albrecht Dürer,  The Dead Christ with the Crown of Thorns,  1503
View fullsize  Antonello da Messina,  The Antwerp Crucifixion , 1454–5
View fullsize  detail from Mathis Gothart Grünewald,  Isenheim Altarpiece,  1512–16
View fullsize  ​Peter Paul Rubens,  Deposition , 1602
View fullsize  Caravaggio,  The Incredulity of Saint Thomas , 1602
View fullsize  Annibale Carracci,  Salma di Cristo (Body of Christ) , 1583–85
View fullsize  Konstantin Vasilyev,  Ascension , 1964
View fullsize  I can't find the name, but I saw this in the Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels.  The stench of the living dead is overwhelming.
