yes, the perspective of this painting is what brings forth questions and realizations / ideas that no other crucifixion painting does. the forms and colors are outstanding, true work of art.
there are two other religious paintings I love also, the last supper by Davinci and the creation of Adam by Michelangelo..both of which have a lot of hidden meanings in them..

the red cloth in this painting is symbolizing the womb, with the flowing sash being the umbilical cord, eve is under gods right arm and of course the space between their fingers represents the void between man and god.
if you look at the red cloth background, it is an actual representation of a cross section of the human brain, some think that this was his way of questioning religion with intellect..
oh, and some even think that the angel under god is the angel Michael, and that is actually his signature,( Michelangel(o))
there is more , I just find this kind of work fascinating.
I love artwork that makes you think or actually draws out emotion, the classics were great.
