Notes

"Crucifixion," which is also variably titled "Christ on the Cross," was submitted by Goya to the Royal Academy with his application. Having been turned down before, it is believed that through the influence of Francisco Bayeu that Goya was accepted this last time. The image itself is considered to be a combination of similar images previously painted by Diego Valazquez and Anton Mengs.
