This image shows the crucified figure in strict profile, facing left, a view that makes the line of the body and the strain of the arms easier to read than a frontal pose would. Frederick Holland Day, a Boston photographer, posed for the figure himself, and the image is part of his 1898 series of staged Passion scenes, which used men as models. Platinum printing, the process used here, was prized by pictorialist photographers for its soft tonal range and matte surface. The Spain link on this board reflects how strongly Spanish painting and sculpture, with their unflinching depictions of the Passion, shaped the religious imagery Day was drawing on.
