One of the most iconic depictions of Christ through visual art is a painting done by Venetian painter Tintoretto. The painting itself depicts a dramatic version of Christ being crucified at Calvary.  Christ can be seen as the central or focal point of the painting as it shows him nailed to the cross. The painting is regarded as one of the grandest displays of Christ in the most pivotal moment  of his life.
