Christ of St John of the Cross

Christ of St John of the Cross

The Salvador Dali masterpiece Christ of St John of the Cross first went on show at Kelvingrove on 23 June 1952.

Since then it has aroused admiration, criticism and controversy.

The painting makes an unforgettable impression on the viewer.

The striking angle of the crucified Christ on the Cross, the eerie contrast of light and dark, and the magical and effortless surface effects make this a masterful creation.
