Christ on Cross

Christ is shown frontally on the Cross. The skull at the foot of the cross alludes to Adam's sin and to the redemption of humanity through Christ's sacrifice. The scene is in darkness except for a strong light which enters from the left side and a distant glow at the bottom left which throws into relief the buildings of Jerusalem in the background.
