"Christ on the Cross(1782)", Jacque-Louis David

About the Artwork

“Christ on the Cross” by Jacques-Louis David, painted in 1782, is a profound masterpiece that transports viewers to the pivotal moment of Christ’s sacrifice. Commissioned by Marshal Louis de Noailles and his wife Catherine de Cossé-Brissac, this oil-on-canvas painting graces the family chapel in the église des Capucins in Paris. David’s neoclassical style infuses the scene with timeless gravity: Jesus, betrayed by Judas Iscariot, hangs on the cross atop Golgotha. The interplay of light and shadow, known as chiaroscuro, envelops Christ, emphasizing both His anguish and serene acceptance of His fate. Every brushstroke reverberates with the weight of humanity, divinity, and redemption.
