Oriol Jansana Cristo dispenses with complex narrative backgrounds to isolate Christ on the cross, flanked by the Virgin Mary and Saint John. The artist uses a vertical, loose, and very impastoed brushstroke, typical of mid-20th-century expressionist figuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe rigorous study of light stands out: a dark, nocturnal background envelops the scene, allowing the pale anatomy of Christ and the intense crimson red and indigo blue garments of the companions to emerge with great visual force. This technique, which prioritizes emotion and the weight of the pictorial material over academic detail, imbues the painting with undeniable contemplation and solemnity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eReasons for the collection\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eExpressive Intensity:\u003c\/b\u003e The quick and textured execution manages to convey the tragedy of the scene with minimal but highly effective resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCabinet Format:\u003c\/b\u003e Its intimate dimensions are in keeping with the tradition of private devotional painting, making it a very versatile piece for display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAesthetic Contrast:\u003c\/b\u003e The severity and dark tone of the panel contrast deliberately and strikingly with its white painted Rococo style frame, making it a decorative object of great character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Data Sheet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oriol Jansana Cristo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTheme:\u003c\/b\u003e Religious art \/ Biblical scene (The Crucifixion).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/b\u003e Oil on wood panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 24.5 x 18 cm (Work) \/ 36 x 30 cm (Frame).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Good general condition.
