Crucifixion

The Religious painting titled Crucifixion by Raphael, created around 1502–1503, is an early High renaissance work rendered as Oil on Board. It depicts the Crucified Christ alongside the Virgin Mary, saints, and angels, emphasizing spiritual devotion. Originally part of a four-element altarpiece, only three elements survive today, with the main panel now in London's National Gallery. The work reflects Raphael's developing mastery of composition and emotional depth, highlighting his early contribution to Renaissance religious art. The technical use of Oil paint and the religious subject matter make it a significant piece in understanding the evolution of Religious painting.
