Christ on the Cross 1906

"Christ on the Cross," painted in 1906 by Tadeusz Makowski, depicts a powerful silhouette of Christ on the cross against a dark, stormy sky. The painting evokes a sense of spiritual struggle and sacrifice, with the focus on the figure of Christ rather than the details of the crucifixion. The bold use of shadow and light creates a dramatic effect, highlighting the pain and suffering of the central figure. Makowski, known for his expressive style and exploration of religious themes, presents a poignant and moving image that reflects the enduring power of Christian symbolism.
