Christ in Agony on the Cross 1605

El Greco’s "Christ in Agony on the Cross", painted in 1605, depicts a powerful and emotionally charged scene of Christ’s crucifixion. El Greco, known for his elongated figures and dramatic use of color, emphasizes Christ’s suffering through his contorted body and the stark, shadowy background. The city of Toledo, El Greco's home, is visible in the distance, adding a personal and symbolic dimension to the work. The painting exemplifies El Greco's signature style, characterized by a unique combination of realism and Mannerist tendencies.
