George Bellows — Crucifixion of Christ
George Bellows

Crucifixion of Christ

1923

George Bellows' "Crucifixion of Christ" is a powerful lithograph that depicts the biblical scene with dramatic emotional intensity characteristic of the artist's expressive style. The work employs bold, gestural mark making and strong contrasts of light and shadow to convey both the physical brutality and spiritual gravity of the subject matter. Created in the early twentieth century, this print demonstrates Bellows' mastery of lithographic technique and his ability to infuse religious imagery with psychological depth and modern sensibility.
