'Cristo en la Cruz'
'Christ on the Cross'
Benito Prieto Coussent

[Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes
Madrid,1948]

Oil on canvas
252x186 cm.

The most representative work of Prieto Coussent.
A painting that drastically marked his career. A work of very long gestation, it was preceded by a multitude of studies and sketches,with which the painter was never satisfied and of which he ended up remaking and destroying in many cases.
