This is a later work and was created in the 1790s. Alongside the crucified Christ, it depicts the penitent and the impenitent thieves, and Mary and John. The depiction of the impenitent thief is particularly noteworthy. He is still mocking Christ, even as he dies. His right hand is making the fig sign, with the thumb between the index finger and middle finger. This gesture has had a variety of meanings since ancient times, ranging from obscene, vehement derision to warding off the evil eye and ill-will. Since people couldn’t keep their hands permanently clenched in this defensive gesture, miniature models of the gesture have been made through the ages to act as amulets. Many examples of these can be seen in the folklore section of the museum on the first floor.
