The Crucifixion, Bartolomé Estebán Murillo Photo Print
- from our Affiliates
The artist’s characteristic smoky atmosphere, the background of a dark, cloudy sky creates a dramatic setting for this presentation of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. An ideal image for devout meditation at this small scale: the sun has set, the cloudy sky is streaked with moonlight, Christ’s body falls limp, and Jerusalem can be seen in the dim distance. Murillo uses light to model the body, while the slight twist of the torso and legs increases the impression of three-dimensional form.
