"The Sorrowful Rosary" is a painting by Austrian artist Ernst Fuchs, known for his surrealistic and symbolic imagery. The artwork depicts a crucifixion scene with a distinct, almost grotesque, yet highly detailed style reminiscent of the Renaissance period. The central figure of Christ is emaciated and covered in blood, highlighting the suffering of his sacrifice. On the left, a sorrowful figure, possibly Mary, observes the scene, while a demonic figure writhes on the ground, representing the evil overcome by Christ's sacrifice. This artwork challenges conventional depictions of the crucifixion, provoking contemplation and interpretation of the biblical story.
