Check out my favorite painting: White Crucifixion by Marc Chagall. Let me know what y'all think.
I spotted this gem at the Art Institute of Chicago a couple years back. If you go to galleries around the Western world, especially in Europe (Museo del Prado in Madrid, for instance), you'll see countless depictions of the Crucifixion across all painting styles. This one, however, projects a much more intense energy than the others in a genre that—though enormously meaningful—has become diluted to the point of monotony. Kudos to Chagall for an inspired take on an overly-done subject matter.
It's worth checking out Chagall's other work here.
Just for kicks, here's some kid at the Art Institute; you can see Paris Street, A Rainy Day in the background.
Cheers,
-FOREVER
