Calvary,The Last Seven Words 1980

"Calvary, The Last Seven Words" is an abstract painting by Jan Cox, a Belgian artist known for his bold use of color and gestural brushwork. Created in 1980, just months before Cox's death, the painting features a vivid orange and brown field with six black circles, reminiscent of the crucifixion of Jesus. The green and white stripes on the bottom of the painting could represent the ground or possibly a cross. The raw and expressive quality of the work reflects Cox's personal interpretation of the theme of Calvary and evokes a sense of both suffering and spiritual transcendence.
