Bidspirit auction | Christ crucified, Spanish School, 19th

Christ crucified, Spanish School, 19th Century - Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 100 x 65 cm; 128 x 85 cm. Christ crucified against a dark background, with the figure of Jesus nailed to the cross beneath the inscription INRI, head bowed, wearing a crown of thorns and a white loincloth. The composition concentrates devotional intensity in the elongated anatomy, the restrained expression, and the contrasts between the warm flesh tones, the reddish wood, and the crackled black background. A religious work in the popular Spanish style of the 19th century, it stands out for its spiritual power and compositional restraint.
