More about this artwork

"The Crucifixion" by Bartolomé Estebán Murillo, painted circa 1675, is a profound and emotive representation of one of the most poignant themes in Christian art. This evocative work captures the sorrow and solemnity of Christ's crucifixion with a dramatic realism that is characteristic of Murillo's mature style.The painting portrays Jesus Christ nailed to the cross, his head bowed in a moment of intense suffering and graceful resignation. The figure of Christ is central and dominant, depicted with a palpable sense of weight and physicality as his body hangs from the wooden cross. The light focuses on his pained expression and the striking white cloth that drapes around his waist, enhancing the emotional impact of the scene.Murillo's use of a subdued palette and the soft, diffuse light emphasizes the spiritual and tragic aspects of the scene. The background features a muted landscape with a dimly lit skyline, possibly indicating the city of Jerusalem. This setting evokes a mood of solemnity and reflects the somber moment of Christ's ultimate sacrifice.This painting is not only a religious artifact but also a testament to Murillo's skill in capturing human emotion and his ability to convey deep spiritual truths through art.

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (December 1617, January 1, 1618 – April 3, 1682) was a Spanish Baroque painter. Although he is best known for his religious works, Murillo also produced a considerable number of paintings of contemporary women and children. These lively realistic portraits of flower girls, street urchins, and beggars constitute an extensive and appealing record of the everyday life of his times. He also painted two self-portraits, one in the Frick Collection portraying him in his 30s, and one in London's National Gallery portraying him about 20 years later. In 2017–18, the two museums held an exhibition of them.
