Christ on the Cross by El Greco Poster
Christ on the Cross by El Greco, c. 1600, is an oil on canvas painting depicting the crucifixion of Christ. The expressively elongated form of the body of Christ is nailed into the cross that fills the composition from top to bottom, set into the hilltop at bottom surrounded by human skulls and bones. The ghostly, elongated forms of the figure are set against a black sky with dark clouds that dwarf the distant landscape. Jesus gazes upward towards Heaven as he endures his Passion, while above his head a sign inscribed in Hebrew, Greek and Latin proclaim the Nazarene to be king.
Domenikos Theotokopoulos (1541 - 1614) was born on the island of Crete where he apprenticed as a painter of religious icons in the Byzantine tradition. As a young man he studied in Venice under Titian and the painters of the Venetian Renaissance and became known by the moniker El Greco, "The Greek". El Greco permanently settled in Toledo, Spain, where he produced most of his famous paintings and worked also as a sculptor and architect. El Greco's unique manner defies classification, incorporating elements of the Italian and Spanish Renaissance, Byzantine art, Mannerism, and Expressionism. El Greco remained somewhat obscure until the 19th and 20th centuries, when his paintings profoundly influenced the rising modern artists.

I hung this in the stairwell of our house, near some other Renoir pictures. My daughter says it looks like she is looking at her when she walks up the stairs.
it's called "The Excursionist", she is holding a walking stick. Renoir was an impressionist, I don't think this is an actual person. The finished framed picture arrived and looks better than the online pic - Beautiful!

Absolutely superb Art Deco poster. The colours are vibrant, sympathetic to the era and perfect for use. I framed it and hung above the entrance to my Art Deco inspired lounge room. Stunning! The print is precise, clear and of an excellent standard. It was cleverly packaged so there wasn’t a blemish or crease. Perfect!
