"Christ of Saint John of the Cross" (204.8 x 115.9 cm; oil on canvas) was painted by Salvador Dali in 1951 and today is regarded as one of the most famous works by the Catalan artist. In addition, this painting is also the most expensive - the Spanish government was willing to pay $ 127 million for it - but the owner refused to sell it.
Today the painting is on display at the Kelvingrove Museum (Glasgow, Scotland). As a result of a 2006 poll, 29% of Scots called this canvas their favorite one - raher curios fact, taking into account that the gallery was once severely criticized for spending as much as £8,200 on the purchase of this work by Dali!
Critics of that time appreciated the artist's work rather negatively, calling the painting "banal and traditional" - but time has shown how much they were wrong.
