Christ on the Cross c. 1600 - 1610

El Greco's "Christ on the Cross," a powerful depiction of the crucifixion, dates back to the early 17th century. Known for his elongated figures and dramatic use of color, El Greco masterfully captures the suffering and sacrifice of Christ. The figure's contorted posture and the dark, turbulent sky evoke a sense of anguish and divine intervention. This work exemplifies the artist's signature style, characterized by intense emotionality and Mannerist influence, making it a significant piece in the history of religious art.
