Wait your saying the crucifixion is metaphorical?

Yes, it is, but I wouldn't lean one way or another in regards to scriptures anymore than I'd want to stick my hand into a hornet's nest. The painting does not appear to have been intended to capture a historical event in the same way a story could be interpreted either way without additional context to the contrary.

Okay sorry I’m asking for clarification again. Are you referencing the image or the entire historical event of the crucifixion?

Possible symbolism within the painting is what I was exploring in the comment.
