Christ on the Cross

by ZURBARÁN, Francisco de, Oil on canvas, 291 x 165 cm

In 1627, while still resident in Llerena, Zurbar�n painted this spectacular picture, that made him famous, for the Dominicans. It was placed in a small oratory chapel and made a strong impression. The represented drama in the composition is increased by the overpowering light, which heightens then transforms the real into superreal, thus expressing the dual nature of Christ.
