Crucified Christ

Hans Leinberger

Cleveland Museum of Art

The crucified Christ sculpture by Hans Leinberger depicts a crucifix with a dark brown or black cross. The cross has a wide horizontal beam and a narrower vertical beam. At the top of the cross, there is a curved metal piece. The figure of Christ is made of lighter-colored material, possibly wood, and has a naturalistic appearance. Christ's arms are outstretched and nailed to the cross. His body is muscular and defined. He wears a cloth wrapped around his waist. His feet are nailed to the vertical beam. The figure's facial features are detailed, with long hair and a beard. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
