Andrea Mantegna’s Crucifixion is stark and sculptural, a vision where human suffering meets architectural precision. In the Slow Art format, time slows across the cracked earth, taut bodies, and a sky bruised with silence. The figures are carved in light and shadow, their anguish held in stillness. Ruins loom behind, evoking the fall of worlds and the weight of sacrifice. This is not just a scene of pain, but a composition of enduring solemnity.
