Scene Description: Source caption: "Scènes de la Passion du Christ. La basilique de la Daurade renferme douze chapiteaux sur le thème de la Passion du Christ. Ce second atelier fait ressortir plus de détails : c’est la période de maturité de la sculpture romane avec des scènes plus dynamiques et spirituelles qui produisent une intensité émotionnelle et dramatique."
