EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and emotional moment of "The Carrying of the Cross" from Anton Henkel's Scenes from the Life of Christ. Painted in oil on panel during the 15th century, this artwork showcases a pivotal scene in Jesus Christ's journey to Calvary. In this image, we witness Jesus, burdened by the weight of his cross, being mercilessly kicked and attacked by soldiers. The crown of thorns adorning his head serves as a painful reminder of his impending crucifixion. Surrounding him is a crowd filled with anguish and curiosity, observing this sorrowful procession up Golgotha hill. Henkel masterfully portrays not only the physical suffering endured by Jesus but also conveys the profound spiritual significance behind these events. The landscape adds an atmospheric touch to this composition, emphasizing both the isolation and magnitude of this momentous occasion. Originally housed in Payerne Abbey in Vaud, Switzerland, this artwork has now found its place within a private collection. Its historical value cannot be understated as it offers viewers a glimpse into one of Christianity's most sacred narratives. Through capturing such raw emotion and pain within his brushstrokes, Henkel invites us to reflect upon our own faith and contemplate the sacrifices made for humanity's redemption. This powerful image continues to resonate with audiences today as it stands as a testament to endurance amidst adversity and unwavering devotion even in times of great suffering.
