Christ on the Cross is a 1782 oil-on-canvas painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jacques-Louis David. It was commissioned by marshal Louis de Noailles and his wife Catherine de Cossé-Brissac for their family chapel in the église des Capucins in Paris. One of David's few religious works, it is now in the église Saint-Vincent in Mâcon.[1][2]
