Christ Crucified 

"Christ Crucified" is a haunting charcoal and pastel drawing by the French symbolist artist Odilon Redon. The piece depicts a pale, androgynous figure, likely representing Christ, nailed to a cross. Redon, known for his evocative use of color and form, creates a sense of sorrow and mystery. The figure's face is obscured, emphasizing the emotional weight of the subject. The swirling, ethereal background suggests a spiritual realm, while the starkness of the cross emphasizes the brutal reality of the crucifixion. This powerful image exemplifies Redon's unique ability to merge symbolism and realism, captivating viewers with its evocative, otherworldly atmosphere.
