Untitled 

This untitled painting by Aldo Locatelli, an Italian painter active in the mid-20th century, depicts a dramatic scene of the Passion of Christ. The composition focuses on the moment when Jesus is falling under the weight of the cross. His body is twisted and contorted, emphasizing the physical pain he is enduring. The figure in the background, likely a Roman soldier, is rendered in harsh, angular lines, creating a contrast with the more rounded forms of Jesus. The use of earthy tones and dramatic lighting contributes to the raw and visceral quality of the painting. Locatelli's work is characterized by a strong sense of realism and a keen interest in the human form. This piece is an example of his exploration of religious themes through a modern, expressive lens.
