This 18th-century oil painting, housed in the Städel Museum, depicts a scene of Christ handing a nail to a nun, surrounded by angels. The anonymous artist's work showcases a dramatic use of light and shadow, characteristic of Baroque art. The composition, with its central figure of Christ, emphasizes the significance of the moment. The celestial setting, with a group of angels above, adds to the spiritual and devotional nature of the piece. The vivid colors and expressive figures contribute to the overall impact of this ceiling design.
