Some of us are aware that painting of the ***White Crucifixion*** by Marc Chagall is well liked by our present Sovereign Pontiff, Pope Francis. White Crucifixion ***White Crucifixion*** Although it seems to deviate from the traditional form of a Crucifixion Scene and some even consider it somewhat scandalous. Are there any examples as to other types of Crucifixion Scenes that have Jesus in some sort of non-traditional attire that are acceptable to Catholics thought (either via painting, icon or Crucifix)? Some think it is scandalous because Our Lord is not wearing a ***crown of thrones*** or a ***loin cloth***! We know historically that the Romans crucified their victims naked . Do we know what made Pope Francis likes this form of art, since it deviates from a classical perspective?
