Original Oil on Canvas Painting of Jesus Christ on the Cross in Mid-Mod Frame - 1969

Large Original 1969 oil painting of Jesus Christ - Beautiful and appropriately moody work of art. Artist unknown. Size: 49” wide x 31” high (inches) This striking and size-able painting of Christ on the cross is an impressive sight to see and for more reasons than one. The beautifully painted figure of Christ contrasts well with dark and ominous looking background, thin and graceful wooden frame, and overall composition. The somber figure of Christ looks as though he has left this world - it's sadness and ingratitude for his sacrifice. The artist may be showing us that we can all lose hope/faith sometimes, but we should never forget the price he paid for our redemption. There are hints of Cezanne and an unabashed depiction of his saintly human body. For a painting to portray such agony on the one hand, combined with such incredible softness and beauty on the other, to us, makes it very powerful and a true work of art. Light and dark are very much present in this painting and, except for nightfall, the darkness in the back may also represent what will happen (and may already have happened) to life on earth when this is how we treat those who are truthful and who bring light.
