About this work

This painting shows Jesus on a cross at the center, surrounded by a crowd of figures. The people around him are dressed in robes of red, blue, and gold, with halos around their heads. Some hold objects like books or scrolls, while others gesture toward Jesus. The background is a golden color with faded writing in a strange script. Notice how the figures are arranged in two neat rows, almost like a formal group photo. The colors are flat and bright, with no shading to show depth. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create depth without shadows.
