Comments: I would agree, the agony of this piece demonstrates the full meaning of the Crucifixtion and death of Jesus to Christians.

Comments: I think that this picture is very violent, but Raphael didn't have that much of a good life to do many happy paintings. Yet the way he used the colors and the way he made the people pose really shows that he is one with himself.
