religious paintings
in the USA.Slide10
Christ of Saint John of the Cross
is a painting by
Salvador
Dalí
made in 1951. It depicts Jesus Christ on the cross in a darkened sky floating over a body of water complete with a boat and fishermen. Although it is a depiction of the crucifixion
,
it is devoid of nails, blood, and a crown of thorns,
because, according to
Dalí
,
he was convinced by a dream that these features would mar his depiction of Christ.
Also in a dream,
the importance of depicting Christ in the extreme angle
evident in the painting was revealed to him. Slide11
