About The Crucifixion (Die Kreuzigung) – Matthias Grünewald – Christian Art Painting
No artist before Grünewald has ever portrayed Jesus in such agonizing suffering and "human" as this German artist. Here rises before the dark background of the cross with a tortured god hanging from it. This picture has little background, there is no perspective or depth. With all the pain and sadness is happening just a dark abyss and background. The climactic moment of the Passion story is the Crucifixion itself. Paintings of the subject were usually intended to foster meditation on Christ’s self-sacrifice, and they thus indicate his suffering by showing him hanging heavily with bowed head and bleeding wounds. The figure of Christ is rarely distorted, however, and his state of undress often reveals an idealized body based on classical models. A crowd of other figures typically surrounds the cross, and they are frequently notable for their expressiveness.
