Christus aan het kruis 1884

"Christus aan het kruis" (Christ on the Cross) is a powerful black and white print by Danish artist Carl Bloch, created in 1884.

Bloch's masterful use of light and shadow adds to the solemnity of the scene, with a lone skull in the foreground further enhancing the sense of death and sacrifice.
