Christ Carrying the Cross

Deutsche Grafik 1460–1470, hacia 1470

This is a painting of multiple figures in historical attire. One central figure carries a heavy beam. The image depicts figures in medieval clothing, surrounding a central figure wearing a crown of thorns and bearing a wooden beam. The figures are tightly packed against a backdrop of a stone wall and a distant landscape. The colors are vivid with reds, blues, and earthy tones, framed by a red border. The style includes strong outlines and simple shading that emphasizes the expressions and postures of the figures. This style is akin to an early Renaissance or Late Gothic woodcut, often attributed to artists like Albrecht Dürer.
