About this work

This painting shows a man nailed to a cross in the center, with his arms spread wide. Two people stand below him, looking up with serious faces. The background has bright colors—deep blues and warm browns—with simple shapes like flowers and grapes. Gold halos glow around the heads of the man and the two figures. Notice how the figures look flat and stylized, not realistic. The artist used bold lines and bright colors instead of shadows. Look up *cross-hatching* to see how artists build depth with lines.
