The Crucified Christ

Pietro da Rimini

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A crucified man with long brown hair and a halo is nailed to a cross. The man's eyes are closed and his head is tilted down. He is shirtless and has a cloth wrapped around his lower body. There are several wounds on his body, with blood visible on his abdomen and side. The background of the painting is dark and there is a lighter-colored section behind the man's head. The painting is on a rectangular surface with a rough edge. The man has a beard and his arms are outstretched. He is nailed to a wooden cross. The halo around his head has a red V-shaped mark on it.
