Jesus Carrying the Cross

Artist: Charles Le Brun (French, 1619-1690)

Date: 1688

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Louvre Museum, Paris, France

Description

Le Brun indeed depicts the moment when Christ collapses under the weight of the Cross, while the executioners point to Simon of Cyrene, in the foreground on the left, to carry the Cross in its place. The procession has just left Jerusalem, one of whose gates is depicted on the right, and is heading towards Mount Golgotha on the left. Le Brun closes the composition with the monumental arch of an aqueduct and a rocky prominence. Le Brun paints the climax of the drama, the fall of Christ.

full-page miniatures from a manuscript originally created in east anglia, c. 1190-1200, containing a picture cycle of the life of christ. the book was transformed in northern england, c. 1480-90, when a second cycle of images and texts (rosary prayers and others) was integrated into the earlier cycle. the miniatures above make part of these late medieval additions.
