Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs

Oil on canvas
36 × 48 in (91.4 × 121.9 cm)

This crucifixion scene is about the physical burden of the cross and the human cost of redemption: weight, exhaustion, and sacrifice. The composition carries Isaiah’s prophecy through tangible suffering. Among Turner’s faith paintings it is one of the most restrained.
