Christ in Limbo 1947

"Christ in Limbo" is a 1947 drawing by German Expressionist artist Max Beckmann. The piece features a large, central figure of Christ with a crown of thorns. He is surrounded by other figures, including a woman with her back to the viewer, who seem to represent the damned. Beckmann's bold, expressive lines and dark, somber palette evoke the anxieties and despair of the post-World War II era. This drawing exemplifies Beckmann's characteristic style, known for its distorted figures and unsettling imagery.
