http://rubens.anu.edu.au is a collection of pictures of art and architecture from the world over.

It is on the copious side; hunting for a picture of the crucified serpent from an earlier entry, I found

http://rubens.anu.edu.au/raid1/cdroms/webready/england/oxford/colleges/keble/chapel/interior/mosaics/

and each of the directories above 'mosaics' has several subdirectories; I suspect there are tens of thousands of pictures here, all filed. They're not museum-quality photographs, but my, they are numerous.

http://rubens.anu.edu.au/raid1/cdroms/webready/england/oxford/colleges/keble/chapel/interior/mosaics/PC091525.JPG shows the serpent, if anyone wishes to interpret this picture.

Does it not show the serpent (symbol of Satan, see for e.g. Genesis) entwined round the cross, not crucified? Thus presumably the cross is a symbol of Satan's blow against God through the crucifixion of Jesus?
