RASTIGNIREA is a 1850 by Unknown, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a man nailed to a cross, surrounded by five figures in red robes. The background is gold, but the paint is worn and cracked. The figures stand in a line, some looking up at the cross, others holding objects. The man on the cross is the central focus, with his arms spread wide. The figures around him seem to be reacting to his suffering, but their faces are simple and flat. This style of religious painting is common in older churches. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists created depth with lines.
