Description
Jesus on the Cross 2: an upright canvas for the home and a prayer corner
The painting shows Jesus on a wooden cross with a crown of thorns and a pale halo, a white cloth around his hips, against a dark background. The Jesus on the Cross 2 painting comes in 4 upright sizes, from 40 x 60 to 100 x 150 cm. For a prayer corner or the wall above a bedside table, choose 40 x 60 cm. Above a 120 cm chest of drawers, choose 80 x 120 cm, two thirds as wide as the chest, and for a tall living-room wall or a stairwell choose 100 x 150 cm.
The 60 x 90 cm size of Jesus on the Cross 2 is delivered in 6 days, the other sizes in 15–45 days. Choose YES under Stretcher and the canvas of the crucified Jesus arrives stretched on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame is optional: for the Jesus on the Cross 2 painting the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. Jesus, the cross and the dark background are hand-painted, so this painting is not a print.
What does the Jesus on the Cross 2 painting show?
Jesus on the Cross 2 is a quiet image for prayer: Jesus on a wooden cross with a crown of thorns and a pale halo, a white cloth around his hips, and only a dark background behind him. With no other figures and no landscape, the eye stays on the face and body of Jesus, as before a crucifix in church. The crown of thorns recalls the Passion and the pale halo that this is the Son of God, which is why Jesus on the Cross 2 suits daily prayer and Lent.
Where does Jesus on the Cross 2 belong in a home?
Jesus on the Cross 2 belongs in a prayer corner, above a bedside table, in a bedroom or on a tall wall by the stairs. Keep the centre at eye level, about 150 cm from the floor, and in a prayer corner at eye level when kneeling. Above a chest of drawers, leave 20 to 30 cm between the top and the bottom edge. Because the background is dark, Jesus on the Cross 2 benefits from a light wall and warm light from above.
How is the Jesus on the Cross 2 painting made?
Jesus on the Cross 2 is hand-painted by our painters. They lay down the dark background first, then the wooden cross, the body with its white cloth, the crown of thorns and the pale halo, modelling the light on the body with the brush. Because it is painted by hand, you can see the strokes on the canvas, and every Jesus on the Cross 2 painting comes out a little different. We send you a photograph of the finished Jesus on the Cross 2 to approve and ship it after your reply.
Rolled, stretched or framed?
We ship Jesus on the Cross 2 the way you choose: rolled, stretched on a 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher, or framed. Jesus on the Cross 2 is stretched and framed in our workshop in Slovenia. Stretched, it arrives ready to hang; rolled makes sense for the 100 x 150 cm size or when a framer near you will frame it. A plain dark wooden frame leaves the painting its calm.
Is Jesus on the Cross 2 a good gift?
Jesus on the Cross 2 is a fitting gift for a confirmation, a first communion, a wedding or a priest’s anniversary, and also for a church, a chapel or a care home. The 40 x 60 cm size fits above a bedside table or in a prayer corner. If you do not know the wall, a gift voucher leaves the choice to the recipient.
