Christ on the Cross, 1600-1610. Creator: El Greco.

Légende

Christ on the Cross, 1600-1610. El Greco combines the iconic power of the crucifix with the expressive power of landscape painting. He sets the cross atop Golgotha, the "place of the skull," with Jerusalem looming in the background. He eliminates the other characters from the biblical narrative, encouraging the viewer to contemplate Christ and his suffering.
