§ 707 (XPBJJT)
The biblical inspiration for this allegory is comes from Isaiah 63:3 "I have trodden the wine press alone; and of the people there was none with me". In this Retablo the libation of Christ blood to atone the sins of the world is illustrated by blood pouring from his body into a chalice that he is "divine" (John 15:1-8) is demonstrated by a grapevine originating from his body and arching over his head. The seven sheeps symbolizes the soul to the faithful. The chalice rests on a closed book with seven seals. Revelation 5:1 The seals probably represent the 7 sacraments. There are many characteristics that would are attributes of the Red Bole group. $650.00
