Calvary

Cornelis Massijs

Rockoxhuis

Rockoxhuis
Antwerp, Belgium

Cornelis was the youngest son of Quinten Metsys and the successor of Joachim Patenir. The drama of Calvary is reinforced by a threatening sky. To the left, in the distance, we see Jerusalem, symbol of spiritual power. To the right is the castle, symbol of secular power. In the foreground, soldiers sit throwing dice for Christ’s robe.
