About this painting
Nothing is in doubt. Four angels catch the blood in chalices. By one thief an angel lifts a doll-sized man; by the other, a demon with another. The Museum of the Bible reads them as two souls, one received, one taken. A rider touches his eye and red rays leave the lid; in the Golden Legend, some say Longinus was blind until blood from the spear reached his eyes.
Far off under the gold sky, the entry on the donkey; and a man hangs from a tree, a scarlet bag at his neck. Judas. Even his end is accounted for.

But one of the soldiers with a spear opened his side: and immediately there came out blood and water.
