Golgotha (ceramic picture) - detail

Apáti Abt’s ceramic picture, Golgotha depicts Christ’s death on the cross as recorded in the Bible: under a darkened sky, the figure of a weeping woman (presumably Mary) can be seen in the foreground, looking in the direction of the Golgotha (Matt 27:31–55; Mark 15:20–41; Luke 23:33–49; John 19:17–37).
Ornately framed, the function of this work of art is not utilitarian but decorative, as is the case with oil paintings; further, the subject matter is meant to serve contemplation.
