## Torture - Raising to the cross - oil, ink and spray on canvas 
<hr>
The penalty of crucifixion was a practice used in ancient times by the Assyrians, Persians, Indians and Shiites, it was brought to the West by <b>Alexander the Great.</b>

The people who most used this terrible punishment technique were the Romans. To ruthlessly punish the rebellion of the slave <b>Spartacus</b>, the emperor <b>Crassus</b> ordered the largest mass crucifixion. All 6,000 prisoners of the revolt led by Spartacus were crucified along the <i>regina viarum</i>, the famous <b>Via Appia</b> for 190 kilometers, from Rome, Lazio to Capua, Campania.

Historical sources tell that a cross was erected every 30 meters and historians assume that Spartacus, the Thracian slave, not recognized by the Roman soldiers, was also crucified. The great director [Stanley Kubrick]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Kubrick)will also dedicate a film to the famous rebel slave.[Spartacus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartacus_)

The Romans also used the crucifixion to punish men of different religions and in particular the first Christians, this happened up to the <b>Edict of Milan</b> or also called the <b>Edict of Constantine</b> which allowed freedom of worship in 313 AD.

<b>The crucifixion theme has fascinated many artists in the history of art, and the same has been for myself.</b>

To create this large-format work, I was inspired by <b>Peter Paul Rubens</b> and <b>Luca Giordano</b>, two great painters of the Baroque period, around the 17th century.

I made a group of people who lift a man to raise him to the martyrdom of the cross. The technique I used is ink, oil and spray on canvas which measures 150x100 cm. a very large work that is owned by me and that I have placed in the bedroom.

The human figure from behind in the foreground is outside the scene, and involves us to enter as spectators in front of a film. A film premiere that disturbs us like many images we see every day on our phones or televisions.

I hope you liked my article and the painting and very soon I will delve into this dramatic theme.

A hug without a cross.

## Tortura
Innalzamento alla croce

La pena della crocifissione era una pratica usata nell'antichità dagli Assiri, Persiani, Indiani e Sciiti, venne portata in Occidente da <b>Alessandro Magno</b>. Il popolo che maggiormente utilizzò questa terribile tecnica di punizione furono i Romani.

Per punire spietatamente la ribellione dello schiavo <b>Spartaco</b>, l'imperatore <b>Crasso</b> ordinò la più grande crocifissione di massa. Tutti i 6.000 prigionieri della rivolta capeggiata da Spartaco vennero crocifissi lungo la <i>regina viarum</i>, la famosa via <b>Appia</b> per 190 chilometri, da Roma  a Capua.

<b>opera di mia proprietà</b>

Le fonti storiche raccontano che ogni 30 metri fu eretta una croce e gli storici suppongono che anche Spartaco lo schiavo della Tracia, non riconsciuto dai soldati romani venne crocifisso.  Anche il grande regista <b>Stanley Kubrick</b> dedicherà un film al celebre schiavo ribelle.

I romani usarono la crocifissione anche per punire uomini di religioni differenti e in modo particolare i primi cristiani, questo avvenne fino all'<b>Editto di Milano</b> o anche detto Editto di Costantino che ammise la libertà di culto nel 313 d.C.

Il tema della crocifissione ha appassionato moltissimi artisti nella storia dell'arte, e lo stesso è stato per il sottoscritto.

Per realizzare quest'opera di grande formato mi sono ispirato a <b>Peter Rubens</b> e a <b>Luca Giordano</b> due grandi pittori del periodo Barocco, intorno al 17° secolo.

Ho realizzato un gruppo di persone che sollevano un uomo per elevarlo al martirio della croce. La tecnica che ho usato è inchiostro, olio e spray su tela la quale misura 150x100 cm. un lavoro molto grande che è di mia proprietà e che ho collocato in camera da letto.

La figura umana di spalle in primo piano è fuori dalla scena, e ci coinvolge ad entrare dentro come spettatori davanti ad un film. Una premiere cinematografica che ci inquieta come molte immagini che vediamo tutti i giorni sui nostri telefoni o televisioni.

Mi auguro che il mio articolo e il quadro vi siano piaciuti e molto presto approfondirò questo tema drammatico.

Un abbraccio senza croce.

Armando
