What I especially enjoyed was the artist’s treatment of both-dimentional reality of people who are still in this world, i.e. Jesus Himself and the guards though probably half-dead and those from another reality of God’s kingdom – the figures witnessing Christ’s victory as fulfilment of their expectation.
