The Outraged Christ…
One of our tours during a recent visit to Liverpool was to the cathedral there. Inside, I was transfixed by this sculpture. It is certainly not what we usually see in other works of art depicting the crucifiction. "The Outraged Christ" is a sculpture by Charles Lutyens, a 15-foot-high depiction of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, currently on display at Liverpool Cathedral. The sculpture is made of wood, iron, and steel and was begun 40 years prior to its completion in 2011. Lutyens chose to portray Christ in a state of outrage and agony, reflecting the suffering and injustice of the crucifixion. The sculpture is a prominent piece of art within the cathedral, and it has been the subject of numerous discussions and reflections on the meaning of Christ's sacrifice and the human experience of suffering.”
