"Crucified" by Amanda Jönsson

Hey, first comment.... Hmmm... her body is well drawn but she is rather awkward...but the coloring of her skin is perfect ! Maybe you should add some more....posing? And Thanx alot for visiting my gallery (and so kindly leave your comment....)

very pretty, you're good with watercolors.

Actualy i believe the roman empire crucified political desidents and common criminals alike - it is not entirely unlikely that there were female crucifictions - it's just that in most parts of the empire men got the credit and the blame for whatever any descendent or spouse may have been responsible for - though as far flung as it was for its time there must have been many and wide variations. One thing is certain though - the 'cross' they were crucified on was not what we think of as a cross today but a single post without the crosspiece - that design was somewhat arbitrarily retroactively superimposed for various much later political reasons and derives, bizaarly enough, from the floor plan of a celtic passage grave ... ~

Why are there Nordic runes on a christian cross?

The colouring of the body looks great!

I like the idea. i've never even though of a woman being crucified before. great job with the watercolors!

Gender and age made little difference in ancient Rome when it came to death by crucifixion. Several female Saints died on the cross, especially during the 3rd century.

A few complaints. It's a long established fact now that the nails were place in the wrists, not the palms, which will not support the weight of the body. Also, the knees should be bent, as this is what caused the constriction of air to the lungs, which is the primary cause of death on the cross. Other than that, I applaud your boldness at this illustration.

I pray 2 the lord gurl!! i luv her ure better than my sis and my sis is gooooooooood!

Need a pyre and more fire

In the olden days, women were crucified a lot more than men and Joan of Arc is living proof of that.
Heck, in the olden days, women were crucified just for speaking their minds against men in the congregation, for men in those days believed that if a women was strong enough to speak her mind, then their egos will tell them to call her a witch and burn her at the stake.
