Christ Carrying the Cross, El Greco Magnet

During his long career in Spain, El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos Greek ca. 1577–87) produced numerous paintings of Christ carrying the cross. Here no other figures are represented and the setting is not recognizable. Instead, it is a devotional image of haunting immediacy and resonant with pathos. Christ's willing sacrifice for mankind is expressed through his gentle embrace of the cross and his heavenward gaze. Customize it with your own details.
