An interesting thought.
However Coctea...Thank you. An interesting thought.<br /><br />However Cocteau is buried in the Chapelle Saint Blaise Des Simples in Milly-la-ForĂȘt. He lived nearby and had fully decorated the small chapel with murals . The theme of the decoration is The Resurrection of Christ<br /><br />Some years earlier he also completed a commission for stained glass in the church of Saint-Maximin in Metz<br /><br />He is an enigmatic character. As regards what he believed and did in a spiritual sense is known only to God. Perhaps we should just leave it with HimAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216619732353177072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103288818005519281.post-86870143983000885022011-11-29T00:25:34.472+00:002011-11-29T00:25:34.472+00:00I found a description of this mural in a book and ...I found a description of this mural in a book and found your blog post by searching on line for an image of it. I have not found a photo of this in color, but I am still searching. The description I read says the figure in the corner is green (or wearing green.) <br /><br />The mural is certainly a unique depiction of the crucifixion. I understand the figure to the left of the alter is a self-portrait, significantly with the artist's back toward the cross. Cocteau was homosexual. I wonder if he was symbolically turning his back on the church that condemns his sexual preference. Just a thought.C Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13053858627632648020noreply@blogger.com
