This artwork by Vik Muniz is named “Descent from the Cross, After Caravaggio”. Muniz made this piece of art out of chocolate syrup in 2000. The artwork is a representation from Caravaggio’s painting “Descent from the Cross”. All of the art pieces that Muniz has created is made from different everyday materials such as peanut butter and jelly, garbage, dust, chocolate syrup, and photographs. This image captured my attention because it was able to illustrate an important moment in history. Muniz was able to mimic the facial expressions in this piece of art that Caravaggio has created to show an intense moment. I think that this artwork gives the attention that this moment should be given.
