The Crucified Man

Melchior Lorch

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a muscular, nude male figure in a dynamic pose. He has his right leg folded at the knee, balancing on his toes, and his left leg extended back. His right arm is bent at the elbow and his left arm is fully extended forward. His head is turned to the left, with defined facial features and short, curly hair. The figure is wearing draped fabric around his lower back. The background includes grass-like vegetation at the bottom and a cityscape visible in the distance on the right side.
