''Christ Crucified'' ( es, Cristo crucificado) is a 1780 oil-on-canvas painting of the crucifixion of Jesus by Spanish Romantic painter Francisco de Goya.

It is a life-size frontal nude, without the support of a narrative scene. Description Velázquez followed the accepted iconography in the 17th century.
