Christ Carrying the Cross
techniek: Oil on Oak, 150 x 94 cm
Exhausted, Christ looks at the viewer, blood trickling down his forehead. A subtly painted tear runs down his cheek, yet his glance radiates dignity as he fulfils his destiny. Patiently he undergoes the scourging doled out by the executioner behind him and bears the nail blocks that hamper and cut his feet. Simon of Cyrene, the man in white behind him, tries to alleviate his suffering, as described in the Bible. In the background, the disciple John, wearing red, comforts Mary. |  |
