Crucified Christ

Cleveland Museum of Art

The stained glass window depicts 'Crucified Christ' by Marc Chagall. The image shows a crucifixion scene. Jesus Christ is on the cross. He has a crown of thorns on his head and a red cloth around his waist. His arms are outstretched. A dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, is to his right. Above the cross is a building with a large central tower and two smaller towers on either side. The background is a mosaic of blue, gold, white, and gray pieces of glass. There are decorative gold vines and leaves at the bottom. The overall color palette is subdued with shades of blue, gold, and white predominating.
