No less a painter than Pablo Picasso once said there was no greater subject in art than the crucifixion.
Salvador Dali painted Christ on the cross several times.
This is an unusual version. Appears to fuse the Crucifixion with the Resurrection.

I’ve never seen that one before.
Another one is looking vertically down at Christ’s head on the cross.
Calling the artist of our group!

A very interesting painting. It seems to me that the cross is now an altar table of sacrifice. Quite thought provoking. I also like the rock. The rock of Peter upon which Christ’s Church is built, in my opinion.

I think the Dali is ethereal. So is this - even more so:
