Christ Carrying the Cross
UnknownBefore 1686
Dulwich Picture Gallery
London, United Kingdom
The composition seems to derive from the 'Christ carrying the Cross' by Titian or Giorgione in the Scuola di San Rocco, Venice (H.E. Wethey, Titian, London, 1969, I, no.22), though the second soldier, in armour, is a grotesque caricature reminiscent of more Northern prototypes.
