Subject: RE: BS: Eyeworm: Looking up St. Francis painting
Not yet, but the image Bobad linked to is certainly related. This thread certainly has provided an opportunity to view a lot of paintings!
The one I hope to find is, as I said, tall and narrow. If I recall correctly, Francis is featured foreground bottom slightly right. High above, and almost horizontal, Jesus is portrayed, fastened to the cross, with six wings, and with what appears to modern eyes to certainly be red laser beams from his wounds to Francis.
It was so strikingly bizarre that my friends and I briefly used it as an alternative to "Lard, T'underin' Jesus!", instead exclaiming "Six-winged Flyin' Jesus on the Cross!" I apologise for any offense taken by the devout, but as religious iconography goes, this truly qualifies as an over the top visual concept.
