Grant, O Lord, unto us, and to all thy servants, the grace of perseverance unto the end; in the power of him who for the finishing of thy work laid down his life, even thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
The Crucifixion 1958. This shocking painting was inspired by a mound of rubble in Cookham High Street transformed into a Cavalry. The crosses are arranged into an almost “coffin like shape” with Christ seen from behind. His approach is so different to other works on this subject. pic.twitter.com/H7LX1iozgV
