Crucifixion

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a crucified man wearing a white loincloth. His arms are outstretched and nailed to a dark wooden cross. A white sign with black text hangs on the cross above the man's head. The man's face is tilted upwards, and he appears to be looking up. Several small, nude figures are positioned around the base of the cross, some holding objects such as a spear. The background is dark, with some lighter areas suggesting clouds or smoke. The overall mood of the painting is somber and reflective. It is titled "Crucifixion" by Francisco de Goya.
