The earliest major piece in the church, a 12th century Crucifixion carved in lindenwood, has all the pathos of a spiritualized image discovering the resistances of the body: the long oval face, the crudely gouged hair, the hacked spear wound and the thin, knob-bled torso almost physically displace the pain of nailed flesh into the pain of wood attacked by a chisel...
