Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion

Three Studies for Figures at the Base of a Crucifixion

There's something really captivating about this triptych. I mean, its undeniably scary, with its contorted humanoid forms and what not, and that harsh orange backdrop, but perhaps it is this vividness of emotions conveyed that is so punishingly enthralling.

That being said, I don't think I would want to hang anything similar in my home. its much too creepy, especially in the likely scenario of me getting a late night snack.
