''Christ on the Cross with the Two Maries and St John'' is a significant religious painting by the Greek-born artist Domenikos Theotokopoulos, widely known as El Greco. Created circa 1588, this work exemplifies El Greco's mature style, which is characterized by elongated figures, expressive emotion, and a distinctive use of color and light. The painting depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, a central theme in Christian art, and is notable for the inclusion of the two Maries—Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene—alongside St. John the Evangelist.

El Greco, who had trained in the Byzantine tradition of icon painting in his native Crete, later absorbed influences from the Italian Renaissance during his time in Venice and Rome. However, it was in Spain, where he spent the majority of his career, that his unique artistic language fully developed. ''Christ on the Cross with the Two Maries and St John'' reflects the synthesis of these diverse influences, combined with El Greco's personal spirituality and innovative approach to form and color.

The painting is notable for its emotional intensity and the dramatic contrast between the earthly sorrow of the figures at the foot of the cross and the divine light that seems to emanate from the crucified Christ. El Greco's use of stark lighting and the elongation of the figures contribute to the overall sense of mysticism and otherworldliness that pervades the work.

As with many of El Greco's paintings, ''Christ on the Cross with the Two Maries and St John'' has been the subject of extensive art historical research, which has explored its iconography, stylistic elements, and place within the broader context of the Counter-Reformation in Spain. The painting remains an important example of El Greco's contribution to the history of Western art and continues to be studied for its theological significance and its role in the development of Spanish Renaissance and Mannerist painting.
