Christ on the Cross | Carl Bloch | 1870 15th Century The ghostly figure is renderedThis is "Christ on the Cross" by Carl Heinrich Bloch, painted circa 1870. The artwork captures the biblical scene of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It is a dramatic and emotional depiction with a strong sense of narrative. Christ is the central figure, shown nailed to the cross, with his head bowed and a crown of thorns upon his head. The INRI inscription is placed above him, indicating the charge against him, "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews."
