Jerónimo Jacinto Espinosa - El milagro del Cristo del Rescate (1623).The painting depicts the ransom of a crucifix that had fallen into the hands of the Algerian pirates. Some Valencian merchants offered to pay the crucifix’s weight in silver. When put in the balance, it weighted far less then expected. Taken to Valencia in 1560, it received a wide cult. -- source link
