Christ on the Cross

About this work

This image shows a man nailed to a cross, arms spread wide. Two people stand nearby—one in blue, the other in red—looking up at him. The sky is blue with a dark red border, and the ground has scattered bones. The cross has the letters "INRI" at the top. The painting uses simple shapes and bold colors, like flat red robes and a pale, almost ghostly figure on the cross. The artist left out details like shadows, making it look more like a drawing than a realistic scene. This is made using the technique: woodcut.
