Large painting on panel depicting Christ Carrying the Cross. ---------
This iconography of Christ carrying the Cross on his shoulders directly conveys the message of the Passion and has been painted in several variations by the Great Masters of the Renaissance throughout Europe.
Although the various interpretations followed the pictorial style of its Author, the works always maintained the same approach, so much so that it became one of the most celebrated depictions ever.
Our work possesses all the stylistic features that distinguish Lombard production of the early sixteenth century.
The refined elegance of the Lombard Renaissance shows all its requirements in the painting and is evidently influenced, in the drafting of the face, by Spanish and Flemish art.
Notable is the stylistic perfection of the soft drapery and the composed pose of the figure.
The color, on the notes of red and pink, has remained vivid and luminous, a clear sign of the use of quality pigments.
The panel is in excellent condition and has been professionally parqueted.
It is a work of high era that stands out not only for its remarkable workmanship, but also for the dimensions of the panel and for its state of preservation.
