"Christ on the Cross" is a drawing created by Jacob de Wit, a Dutch Baroque artist, in the 18th century. This piece, held at the Städel Museum, depicts the crucifixion of Christ in a detailed, anatomical style typical of the Baroque era. The emphasis on the physicality of Christ's suffering, particularly evident in the detailed portrayal of his body, creates a powerful visual impact and underscores the emotional weight of the event. The skull and crossbones at the base of the cross, symbolizing Golgotha, further reinforce the somber theme.
