We want you to experience the quality of our images without having to pay a dime, which is why this high-resolution, Catholic-art image is free for you to download. Make sure to visit us next week for another free, High-Resolution art download.
The featured picture this week is a painting in the French Victorian Neoclassical style by James Jacques Joseph Tissot (1836-1902) This painting renders a unique view of the Crucifixion on Mount Calvary: the view of Jesus hanging from the Cross. The kneeling figure at the bottom of the image appears to be Mary Magdalene, while Our Lady appears to be standing in the center with Saint John to her right. The high-priests sit on their mules off to the right of the image while the Centurion, St. Longinus, is off to the upper left of the picture. To the left and right of Saint Longinus are two sitting, Roman soldiers with lances—quite possibly one of the same lances that Longinus would later use to pierce the side of Jesus.
