crucifixion

His 'The Gospel According to St. Matthew' presents Christ's crucifixion as a radical political and spiritual act, while 'Teorema' uses crucifixion imagery to explore modern alienation and sacrifice.

His masterpiece 'Gertrud' and earlier religious works explore suffering and martyrdom with profound spiritual intensity, culminating in deeply meditative treatments of sacrifice and transcendence.

His surrealist and later works relentlessly interrogate Christian symbolism and crucifixion through provocative imagery, particularly in 'The Young One' and 'Viridiana,' questioning faith and redemption.
