Otto Ackermann-Pasegg, Crucifixion of Christ
A poignant depiction of the Crucifixion of Christ by listed German artist, Otto Ackermann-Pasegg (1882-1959).
Throughout the centuries, this moment has been depicted by various artists, each with their own set of stylistic nuances and perspectives. Many of the most familiar date from the 15th-century onwards and include works by the Renaissance masters, such as Raphael (1483-1520) and Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519).
But in this particular work, Ackermann-Pasegg seems to be influenced by the dark atmospheric approach of painters during the Baroque period, specifically Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) and Bartolomé Estebán Murillo (1617-1682). Both of these created versions of this scene, which include a cloudy moonlit sky above a distant view of Jerusalem.
You’ll notice that above Christ’s head a note displays the letters ‘INRI’. These are initials for the Latin inscription written by Pontius Pilate - ‘Iesvs Nazarenvs Rex Ivdaeorvm’, which translates as ‘Jesus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum’.
Otto Georg Karl Ackermann-Pasegg studied at the Leipzig Academy of Arts and participated in numerous exhibitions in Düsseldorf, Berlin and beyond. The painting is housed in a period wooden frame and inscribed with the artist’s name on the reverse.

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
