The artwork is titled “Crucifixion,” created by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo circa 1745–1750. It is an oil painting on canvas, measuring 79 x 88 cm. This piece belongs to the Rococo art movement and is categorized as a religious painting.
The painting captures the harrowing scene of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, characterized by vivid details and dramatic expressions, hallmarking the Rococo style’s elaborate and ornate aesthetics. The composition of the artwork vividly portrays the figures mounted on crosses, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers depicted in dynamic postures and rich, flowing garments. The somber yet intensely emotional atmosphere is accentuated by the dramatic contrast of light and shadow, along with the diffuse, turbulent sky that adds to the sense of turmoil and tragedy. The color palette, though muted in some areas, uses intense hues to draw attention to key elements within the scene, primarily the figures on the crosses and the grieving individuals at their feet.
