介绍（中）	基督在十字架上的痛苦在哥特式艺术中是如此重要，以至于13世纪中期的巴黎公司章程中包括了一个专门雕刻此类图像的协会，包括象牙图像。这座象牙色的基督雕塑，其悲情和痛苦被完美地传达出来，是圆形的，当然是用来做祭坛十字架的。尽管失去了双臂和腿部（最初是通过钉子固定在身体上的），但人物的造型显示出对形式和表达的深刻敏感性。有力的解剖结构自然地描绘了垂死的基督的肉体，对于这一时期的十字架来说是非凡的。闭着的眼睛和从后脑勺和右侧垂下的长发，揭示了死亡的情感影响。躯干的微妙扭曲部分是由双腿的位置产生的，双腿交叉并用一根钉子固定在十字架上。
介绍（英）	The suffering of Christ on the cross was so important in Gothic art that the mid-thirteenth-century statute of the corporations of Paris included a guild dedicated to the carving of such images, including ones in ivory. This ivory sculpture of Christ, whose pathos and agony are beautifully conveyed, was executed in the round and most certainly was intended for an altar cross. In spite of the loss of both arms and parts of the legs (which originally were attached to the body by means of pegs), the modeling of the figure reveals a profound sensitivity to form and expression. The powerful anatomical structure—portraying, naturally, the corporeality of the dying Christ—is remarkable for a crucifix of this period. The closed eyes and the long hair, which falls down the back and right side of the head, reveal the emotional impact of death. A subtle twist in the torso was produced in part by the positioning of the legs, which were crossed and mounted on the cross with a single nail.
