Night Travellers at a Cross (Slovak: Nocni Putnici pri Krizi) is a painting by Hungarian artist László Mednyánszky from 1880.
The picture was created in the first half of 1880. It has the dimensions 244 x 149 centimeters. It is in the collection of the Slovak National Gallery.[1]
The picture shows three people with bowed heads who pray at the cross in a dark forest at night. The composition's monumental scale is emphasized by the size of the travellers, as well as by the moonlight.
The theme of a cross in a forest - which has symbolized death - is seen regularly in Mednyánszky's works.[2]
