Attributed to Sebastián López de Arteaga (Seville, 1610 - Mexico, 1656).Carved, wooden "cell cross" painted in oils.61.5 x 31.5 cm. Powerful, inspiring and devotional oil painting on panel with the image of Christ Crucified at the moment when, according to the Evangelist John or Psalm 22, He says some of his seven last sayings: - to God, his Father: ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?- to all: ‘I thirst’;- to the world: ‘All is fulfilled’;- and finally to God: ‘Father, into your hands I commend my spirit’.The ‘cell cross’ is a type of devotional piece very common in Spanish and Latin-American convents and monasteries in the 17th and 18th centuries, and was placed inside each cell for the personal use and worship of each monk or nun.The cross has rectilinear sections, unadorned, and worked in an illusionist, three-dimensional manner, the amount of light is somewhere halfway between the typically Baroque tenebrist light and expression of pathos and the artificial Mannerist light, that invisible ‘cannon of light’ that makes us look at Him. Christ appears in the centre, with foreshortened and expressively deformed anatomy, which denotes the continuance of mannerism even into the 17th century. Following this Christ from top to bottom, at his feet we see a depiction of death treading on the devil. While regarding the pain and death of Jesus on the cross, the skeleton at his feet may seem to be perverse mockery, or nihilistic and macabre irony.This design of a skull (Adam's skull) with two tibias, or scattered bones, and a sitting or standing skeleton originated in the late Middle Ages as a symbol of death and especially as a ‘memento mori’, a visual reflexion on the transience of life (remember that you will die...). In this work, and on the same plane or level, death steps on the devil, on evil, as if they were saying to each other: neither you nor I have the last word, only the resurrection.And horizontally, like two ‘loving’ messages flowing from the blood of his hands, we see two birds: in his right hand, as we look at it, the Phoenix on a burning fire, a symbol of hope, poise, memory and regeneration, a miraculous bird that feels death and prepares it with care and serenity to then rise from its ashes unharmed and vigorous (an impossible dream for a human being who has no faith ...); in his left hand, as a finale, he presents a bird and its chicks, which she feeds with her own flesh and blood. The pelican, one of the symbols of Christ, of His martyrdom and death as salvation through the ultimate sacrifice and love for others. In Catholicism it is associated with the Eucharist: with the immolation of Jesus, who with His own flesh and blood nourishes and redeems humanity. A true example of love is the pelican that restores its young with its own blood. Such is the love of Christ who with His blood restores life and gives us his kingdom on the cross.The composition ends with this pelican which encloses, with a motto, the expression of love of this Christ on the cross: ‘SIC’, ‘HIS QUI DILIGUNT’ (Thus - For those who love).

Plymouth took a very active part in the South Atlantic campaign and at an early stage took part in the recapture of South Georgia, the surrender document being signed in her Wardroom. She was used for Naval Gunfire Support, Air Defence and Anti-Submarine Patrol during the operation to liberate the Falklands themselves. On 8 June H.M.S. Plymouth came under heavy air attack and was hit by 30mm cannon-fire and four 1,000lb bombs while in support of an action ashore. None of the bombs exploded but one of the ship’s own depth charges was set off during the attack and much of the damage was caused by the fire which started as a result. The ship sailed out of San Carlos Water under her own steam and repairs were carried out away from the action area by the Support Ship Stena Seaspread. H.M.S. Plymouth was back in action less than three days later.
