Polycrates' Crucifixion https://www.artic.edu/artworks/44829/
Salvator Rosa developed a kind of dramatic landscape in which nature is presented as wild, dangerous, and filled with striking effects of light, broken trees, jagged cliffs, and dark grottoes. A native of Naples, Rosa settled in Rome in 1649, producing dramatic works that are regarded as counter-parts to the calm, classical landscapes of Claude Lorrain and Nicolas Poussin. Rosa's dark style is well suited to the subject of this pair of paintings; they recount an episode from the Greco-Persian Wars as told by the ancient Green historian Herodotus. The ruler of the island of Samos, Polycrates, had been blessed with remarkable good fortune. In an effort to ward off a reversal of fortune, he cast a precious ring into the sea, but it was returned to him, swallowed by a fish. His good fortune came to an end, however, when he was entrapped by Oroetus of Sardis and put to death. Wentworth Greene Field Memorial Fund

The most cursed part is that this tedious man’s obscure debut single, recorded when he was 21, is actually kind of a bop
Still from Seona Dancing’s 1983 debut video “More to Lose” featuring lead singer Ricky Gervais in his early twenties with New Romantic teased hair and earrings Incredibly cursed 2011 photo of middle-aged Ricky Gervais shirtless in jeans, with the word “ATHEIST” slathered across his chest in fake blood, a crown of thorns with more fake blood dripping down his face, and his arms tied to a horizontal microphone stand in the style of a crucifixion. Photo by Nadav Kander, rejected for a Rolling Stone cover and later printed in New Humanist magazine

Don't you know that Peter Parker was also crucified for our sins?
The scene from Spiderman 2 (2004) where Spiderman (played by Toby Maguire) stops a train with his webbing, in the process pulling a very Jesus Christ pose (*Kim Thayil riff plays*) with accompanying crucifixion style grimace

Christ’s feet are a reference to Matthias Grünewald’s sixteenth-century painting Crucifixion; the total blackness behind them was a challenge to get right. The voice you hear is Spencer Banks’ own. The feet and accompanying actor have never been identified. #PendasFen
Two feet posed in the style of Christ in Grünewald’s Crucifixion. Shooting Script: PEDAL C SHARP REMAINS SUSTAINED. THE VOICE OF CHRIST SPEAKS - IT SHOULD BE STEPHEN’S VOICE BUT NOT EMPHATICALLY RECOGNISABLE AS SUCH. CHRIST VOICE: Stephen… STEPHEN bows head, he dare not turn. CHRIST VOICE: Stephen Franklin… STEPHEN slowly raises eyes to organ-mirror.

Single Miniature Excised from a Missal: The Crucifiction https://clevelandart.org/art/1924.1014
This miniature of the Crucifixion once formed the introductory illustration to the Canon of the Mass in a liturgical missal. The miniature’s style and compositional details compare with the work of various immigrant Netherlandish painters active in France during this same period. The Netherlands was rich in artistic talent, and the willingness with which immigrant artists were accepted in France is demonstrated by an entire generation of Franco-Flemish artists. Elements in the miniature-such as the grouping of the holy women on Christ’s right who support the grieving Virgin, and the treatment of Christ on the cross-are similar to Jean de Beaumetz, court painter to Philip the Good, duke of Burgundy (1364-1404).

Classic 6Os Butterfield & Gibbs. Note the leading around the beard of Simeon giving it a false theatrical appearance, distinctive of the style.

📷 Mapplethorpe
&
🪵🔪 Altdorfer
Black & white self-portrait. Mapplethorpe seemingly leaning into the photograph from the right, his right arm outstretched, his palm facing us crucifixion style, but his face just appearing in the top right corner is smiling towards us. Along with the head we see the right hand side of his chest leaning in, the background light grey. Have I seen this angle before? The cross is being raised and Mapplethorpe's laughing. I've nailed him.

The Old Testament mentions Jesus, and these aren't late medieval insertions, because it was in the Qumran manuscripts several centuries before the crucifixion.

Is there any atheistic explanation? Yes. But someone would have to willingly go to their deaths, trying to "recreate" an ancient prophecy.
Art by DuckAI. Style: watercolor with pastel overlay. Landscape orientation. Light background, dark outlines.

Oh, me too! I loved my stuffed animals. A house burned near us when I was really little, and so I tried sleeping with my arms laid out-crucifixion style, with all of my kiddos on them, so I could grab them all as I ran out in case of fire!🤣🧸
