“Crucifixion. Hypercubic Body”
Salvador Dalí, 1954.
“The Crucifixion” is a stunning work that successfully combines elements of the “nuclear mysticism” that Dalí was into at the time with his appeal to his Catholic heritage. In this work, the artist depicts the crucifixion in the age of modern science, completing his theme begun in “Christ of St. John of the Cross.”

“Three etudes to the figures at the foot of the crucifixion (second version)”
Francis Bacon, 1988.
In 1945, Francis Bacon silenced the world with “Three Etudes to the Figures at the Foot of the Crucifixion,” one of his most violently frightening and inexplicable works. Bacon himself considered it his first great success; he went to great lengths to collect and destroy everything he had written before it. Nearly half a century later, he returned to where he started - rewriting the Three Etudes in exquisite purple colors.
