The image displays a vertically oriented informational poster, likely found in a religious or historical institution in La Paz, Bolivia. The poster details "CRISTO REDENTOR" (Christ the Redeemer) and the Passion of Christ, featuring both Spanish and English text. On the right side, a classical Baroque-style painting is prominently displayed, depicting the body of Christ after crucifixion, held by a sorrowful Mary. Christ's pale, limp body is draped across Mary's lap, who wears a blue cloak over a reddish garment. The scene conveys deep grief and reverence. Various "Símbolos de la Pasión" (Symbols of the Passion) are illustrated around the painting, each connected by lines to their depiction. These include: a rooster ("Gallo"), a bag of coins ("Bolsa de monedas"), pincers ("Tenazas"), vinegar ("Vinagre"), nails ("Clavos"), and a sponge with water ("Aqua"). The poster's text sections explain the significance of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ as central to Christian faith and humanity's redemption. It notes that these themes are prevalent in the Gospels and that the Council of Trent (1563) encouraged their dissemination, particularly in Latin America during the 17th and 18th centuries. Another section, titled "EL BARROCO Y LA REPRESENTACION DE LA PASION," discusses how Baroque art used dramatic and emotional elements to depict these events, aiming to evoke strong feelings in viewers. The Spanish text is accompanied by English translations. The bottom of the poster also lists "Pasion," "Muerte," and "Resurrección" (Passion, Death, and Resurrection) as key themes. The poster is mounted on a reddish-brown, plain wall or surface, under even indoor lighting.
