"Raising the Cross" (German: "Kreuzaufrichtung") is a notable painting by the German Expressionist artist Wilhelm Morgner. Created in 1912, this work exemplifies Morgner's unique approach to color, form, and religious themes, which were central to his oeuvre. Morgner, who was born in 1891 and tragically died in World War I in 1917, was a prominent figure in the early 20th-century German art scene. His work is often associated with the Expressionist movement, which sought to convey emotional experience rather than physical reality.

"Raising the Cross" depicts the biblical scene of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, a subject that has been explored by many artists throughout history. However, Morgner's interpretation stands out due to his distinctive use of vibrant colors and abstract forms. The painting is characterized by its dynamic composition and the emotional intensity conveyed through bold brushstrokes and a vivid palette. Morgner's use of color is particularly striking, with contrasting hues that create a sense of movement and drama.

The painting reflects Morgner's deep interest in spirituality and his desire to express profound religious themes through modern artistic techniques. His approach to the subject matter is both innovative and reverent, blending traditional iconography with contemporary artistic sensibilities. "Raising the Cross" is a testament to Morgner's ability to merge the sacred and the avant-garde, making it a significant work in the context of early 20th-century art.

Morgner's career was cut short by his untimely death at the age of 26, but his contributions to the Expressionist movement have left a lasting impact. "Raising the Cross" remains an important piece within his body of work, showcasing his talent and the emotional depth he brought to his art. The painting is held in high regard by art historians and continues to be studied for its innovative approach to religious themes and its place within the broader narrative of German Expressionism.
