CHRIST CRUCIFIED

This stunning painting by Diego Velázquez captures Christ in a serene yet poignant pose, with four nails, a narrow halo, and a delicate contrapposto stance. The flowing hair partially veils His face, while the wound on His side hints at the sacrifice already made. Though the exact date is unknown, historians place it around 1631–1632 after Velázquez's return from Italy.
