Painter 20th century - Monumental Triptych – The Crucifixion and Biblical Scenes (1920). This grand-scale work serves as an impressive example of private devotional art from the early 20th century. The central panel depicts the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, flanked by biblical figures in attitudes of mourning and prayer. The lateral panels feature standing figures—likely saints or apostles—rendered with striking red drapery that provides a powerful chromatic contrast against the somber tones of the central scene. The style reflects a late academic realism, emphasizing emotional gravity and classical composition. Oil on canvas 214 x 111 cm with frame Dimensions 214 x 111 cm
