Christus 1916

"Christus" (1916) is a pencil drawing by the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani, known for his elongated figures and expressive lines. This particular piece depicts Christ on the cross, with his head bowed and eyes closed, reflecting his suffering and sacrifice. The inscription, "XPICTOΣ", which is Greek for "Christ", further emphasizes the religious theme. The sketch-like quality of the work, with its loose lines and minimal detail, gives it a raw and intimate feel, typical of Modigliani's style.
