Crucifixion 1965

Francis Bacon's 1965 triptych "Crucifixion" is a striking example of the artist's signature style, characterized by distorted figures and a sense of visceral, raw emotion. The central panel depicts a figure contorted on a raised platform, reminiscent of a crucifix, against a vibrant red background. The other panels feature figures in various states of anguish and discomfort, reflecting Bacon's exploration of themes of suffering, violence, and the human condition. The painting’s raw, fragmented style is a testament to Bacon's unique artistic vision and his ability to capture the raw brutality of human existence.
