Man of Sorrows

Christ wears a crown of thorns, drops of blood flow down his forehead and they mix with the tears running down his cheeks. With his hands tied, on his right palm there is a wound from the Crucifixion. It is an image that synthesizes the pain of the Passion and not the narration of a particular episode. The inscription in Latin on the halo is translated as “look and see if there is any pain like my pain”, taken from the Book of Lamentations. Under the Flemish influence, the background in gold leaf materialized the presence of the divine, representing celestial time and space.
