About the Item

"Christ Crucified" is a striking oil on copper painting by an anonymous German School artist. This bold composition presents a powerful portrayal of the crucifixion, a central theme in Christian art, with intense emotion and dramatic use of color. The choice of copper as a medium enhances the luminosity and depth of the oil paints, creating a glowing effect that highlights the figure of Christ in the scene. The artist's attention to the suffering and sacrifice of Christ is evident in the detailed rendering of his form, with the contorted body and expressive facial features emphasizing the agony of the moment. Bold brushwork and rich, saturated tones dominate the painting, with deep reds and dark shadows contrasting against the lighter tones of Christ's figure, drawing the viewer’s eye to the central figure. The onlookers, saints and angels, surrounding Christ add another layer of emotion and narrative depth to the painting. The figures spectating the crucifixion are painted with vivid expressions of sorrow, disbelief, and anguish, reflecting their intimate connection to the tragedy unfolding before them. Each spectator appears deeply affected, their postures and facial expressions conveying the emotional weight of witnessing such a profound moment.
