# Crucified Christ with Mary and John [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MICHELANGELO Buonarroti]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Black chalk and white paint for corrections, 413 x 286 mm ## Commentary Crucified Christ with Mary and John c. 1550 Black chalk and white paint for corrections, 413 x 286 mm British Museum, London This drawing comes from a series in which Michelangelo towards the end of his life sought to depict the Crucified Christ. They might have been viewed as a preparation of a sculpture. The position of Christ's head is not yet clear and the other figures \(presumably Mary and John\) only appear in a rough state as they are stricken with grief. ## Related artworks - [A Man Lifting a Boar onto his Shoulder \(verso\)]() - [Abraham - Isaac - Jacob - Judah]() - [Achim - Eliud \(detail\)]() - [Achim - Eliud \(detail\)]() - [Achim - Eliud]() - [Aeneas with a Boy \(recto\)]() - [Allegorical figure]() - [Amminadab \(detail\)]() - [Amminadab \(detail\)]() - [Amminadab]() - [Ancestors of Christ: figures \(detail\)]() - [Ancestors of Christ: figures \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
