This image depicts a devotional display located within the Basilica di Santo Stefano, Bologna, Italy. A light-colored wooden statue of a seated, nude, bearded male figure, identifiable as Christ, is centrally positioned. The figure has long hair, its arms are crossed over its midsection, and its legs are bent, resting upon white and gold drapery. This central subject is set against a backdrop of rich red patterned fabric, framed by gold side drapes. Overhead, an ornate dark wooden archway or canopy encloses the display, with visible light bulbs mounted within. In the foreground, a multi-tiered metal candle rack is present. On its upper level, four white cylindrical candles in glass holders are lit, each featuring a black depiction of the crucified Christ. An unlit white stick candle lies horizontally on a lower tier of the rack, and numerous unlit white cylindrical candles are stored on the bottom shelves. The floor beneath the rack is composed of patterned reddish-brown and lighter-toned tiles.
