Bulto; Saint Acacio

E. Boyd

National Gallery of Art

This is a painting of a central crucified figure surrounded by smaller onlookers. The image shows a stylized and somewhat abstract representation of the central figure on the cross, wearing a colorful, patterned garment and distinct facial features. The cross and its horizontal beam feature vibrant colors and geometric shapes. Below the main figure, smaller simplified figures stand in a row, each with different poses and some holding objects like staffs or drums. The style is vivid and illustrative, characterized by bold outlines and bright colors typical of folk art.
