Christ Carrying the Cross
Quentin Matsysca. 1510 - ca. 1515
Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Here Massijs, a leading artist in early 16th-century Antwerp, paints an intense picture of Jesus’s suffering. Jesus appears close to the foreground, connecting almost tangibly with the viewer: bloodied and bowed under the weight of the cross. This penetrating depiction
helped worshippers empathise with Jesus’s pain.
