I was looking for a painting to post for Good Friday and I chose the Crucifixion by Dali in honor of the Dali Museum here in Florida. When I Googled "painting of Crucifixion" or "Crucifixion in the Arts" I was stuck by how many artists through the years have depicted the event. It must be one of the most represented events ever depicted in the arts.
Growing up as a Roman Catholic and having attended only religious schools the Crucifixion was very prominent in my childhood. In both paintings and sculptures the image of a man being tortured and brutally killed was all around me. Strange to think back on those images and how realistic and twisted some of the depictions were. GL
