Was Christ naked?

Did He wear a loin cloth on the cross?

The answer is complex. As is typical for me, I scanned a very long explanation. It comes from Catholic Answers, and the question is looked at from an artistic point of view.

I excerpted what seemed to be most relevant. I numbered the direct quotes, which appeared sequentially in the research, to make them easier to read. Very slight editing was done to fix spelling.

1. But the figure was robed
2. The figure is draped in a long tunic of a greyish-blue color, is very lifelike, and has wide open eyes
3. It is a stripped figure, with a perizoma, and four nails are used
4. He is clad in a long, flowing, sleeveless tunic (colobium), which reaches the knees
5. Moreover, Christian art for a long time objected to stripping Christ of his garments, and the traditional colobium, or tunic, remained until the ninth century. In the East the robed Christ was preserved to a much later date. Again, in miniatures from the ninth century the figure is robed and stands erect on the cross and on the suppedaneum.
6. With the tenth century realism began to play a part in Christian art, and the colobium becomes a shorter garment, reaching from the waist to the knees (perizoma)

“Michelangelo sculpted the piece at 18, when he was living with the Augustine monks at Santo Spirito following the death of his first patron, Lorenzo de Medici. The monks let him do anatomical studies of the corpses from the church’s attached hospital. As a thank you, Michelangelo carved this crucifix for their high altar around 1492.”
