","remarks":"as published in Bib 956"},{"texttype":"Online","textpurpose":"Gallery Label","textentryhtml":"One of Spain’s most celebrated seventeenth-century artists, Murillo made numerous paintings of the Crucifixion, varying the composition slightly by raising\n\nor lowering the head of the dying Christ. In this late expressive and atmospheric drawing, Murillo set the luminosity of Christ’s delicately delineated body against broadly brushed washes that suggest a turbulent sky. The low horizon line creates the sense that the viewer is looking up at the figure on a hill. The skull at the foot of the cross signifies the biblical location of the Crucifixion outside Jerusalem, called Golgotha, or “place of the skull,” in Aramaic.\n","remarks":"EUR1_02-05_WLA-Day 1 Cataloguing "}],"media":[{"id":66854,"uri":"https://media.artmuseum.princeton.edu/iiif/3/collection/x1972-40","isprimary":1,"rank":1,"mediatypeid":1,"mediaviewtype":"(not assigned)","restrictions":null,"caption":"PUAM photo"}],"hasimage":"true","bibliography":[{"boilertext":"Jonathan Brown, Susan Grace Galassi, Joanna Sheers Seidenstein and Pablo Pérez d'Ors, The Spanish manner: drawings from Ribera to Goya, (New York: Frick Collection; London: Scala Publishers, 2010).
