Front Image

Also known as the ventral image. It is usually viewed horizontally during an exhibition but the image has been positioned vertically for better viewing.. Large burns and scorch marks from the fire in 1532 seem to frame the image. Look for the blood on the arms, nail wounds in the wrist, wound in the side and blood on the head in the hair. Also notice water stains from where the fire was doused especially apparent over the knees.

Also known as the dorsal image. Notice the apparent crown of thorns and scourge marks that criss cross the back and legs. About 120 such marks can be counted. Notice the blood across the small of the back that flowed from the side wound after the body was laid out horizontally after death. Notice the feet, one foot placed upon the other and nailed into position. Notice the nail wound and corresponding blood flow.
