Golgotha

Golgotha is one of several versions of the Stevan Aleksić’s painting by the same name. Originally from Arad, Aleksić was educated at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. The painting was made in 1921 and it is interpreted in the spirit of symbolism, popular on the art scene across Europe. Golgotha is one of the painter's most representative religious paintings and stands out for its monumental format and deep symbolism. Since it was created a few years after the end of the First World War, it is interpreted as a depiction of a universal scene of misfortune after the Great War.
