Christ on the cross 1910

Leon Wyczółkowski's 1910 painting "Christ on the cross" is a striking depiction of the crucifixion. The artist uses a bold and expressive style to capture the drama and pathos of the scene. The image is dominated by the figure of Christ, whose body is rendered in a stylized and almost geometric form. The painting is filled with symbolic details, such as the crown of thorns, the inscription "INRI," and the city of Krakow in the background. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of both tragedy and hope, reflecting the complex emotions associated with this iconic event in Christian history.
