Posted on the occasion of Easter Sunday. I'm not sure if it's a "cultural" thing, but the crucified Christ is not the usual image associated with our Easter Sunday celebrations. The artist, Carl Heinrich Bloch, who is known for his set of 23 paintings depicting the life of the Christ, has works more fitting to Filipino sensibility of the occasion such as this from Wikipedia.
