Il Grido del Mondo

The story contains numerous images of the Sacred Art of Suffering (the Christus patiens): the head is reclined on the shoulder, while the body is curved in the throes of agony. For two thousand years the artists wonder about what really happened on Mount Calvary. Their pictures are interpretative models for those who watch them. Classical artists reunite the world through the beauty, the Expressionists - instead - the disarrange, leaving those who look at the Opera travaglioso task to transmit the pieces together. In The cry of the world, the Master Cross - under the apparent coverage of beauty - sends the world again shattered by vibration dell'Eloì, Eloi, lama sabachthani. The pure sacrificial lamb warns that approaching the moment when the spirit will retract from the body that is going to be reached by the spear thrown by hatred.
The dynamism of the action is frozen in two successive stages of Resignation of the intended victim (the figure at the center of the picture, into the darkness on the right) and the last question Cry of the world (My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?) - which still awaits a response.
