Christ Carrying the Cross
techniek: Oil on Oak 59.7 x 32.0 cm
Bent double under the weight of the cross, Christ ascends Golgotha amid an angry crowd. A figure in white drags him along by a rope around his waist, while the figure in red is ready to whip him. In the foreground are the two murderers who were executed with Jesus-the one repented before dying; the other did not. Originally, this was the inside of the triptych’s left-hand wing. As far as we know, the central panel and right-hand wing are no longer extant. The tondo on the rear depicts the Christ child holding onto a walking frame and carrying a toy windmill. The two sides of the painting portray Christ’s first and last steps; his fate had been sealed from the start. |  |
