I feel the over all meaning of this piece of art is the crucifixion of jesus for his people, and his people are praising him while jesus’s spirit watches in honor over top of the seen. I also think the people that are praising jesus on the cross are asking for forgiveness for something so when they die they can go to heaven. Which ties us into our theme in humanities class which is death and dying. I believe that the characters that are depicted believe in an afterlife, and they must pay respect to their Christ before entering the afterlife of heaven in this case. There also appears to be people looking from a distance in the background, these people look like they are scared to approach jesus on the cross, maybe for something they have done to him or someone
