The Crucifixion is a 1631 ink by Jacques Callot, a Baroque work, depicting Crucifixion of Jesus, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a dramatic scene of Jesus on the cross. It's a somber moment. The artist used simple lines to convey emotion, which is interesting because it was done a long time ago. This style of using lines to show feeling is a key part of the work. To learn more about this style, look at the technique: etching.
