This painting, together with ' The Agony in the Garden' once formed part of a polyptych or triptych. The inscription on the bottom right, '1501/ ff.q.o', is not wholly convincing as contemporary & the second line is obscure, but is likely to be the right date. ...

This panel depicts Christ carrying his cross on the road to Calvary, where he was crucified. The viewer occupies the position of the Holy Women who looked on as Christ passed by. The unknown Venetian painter was influenced by Giovanni Bellini & Giorgione. ...

Christ is shown after the Flagellation, tied by his hands to the column. The blood-stained instruments of flagellation lie before him, in the foreground of the composition. On the right, at the bidding of the Guardian Angel, the Christian Soul, personified as a kneeling child, contemplates the suffering of Christ. This subject was rarely treated in paintings. The figure of Christ reflects Italian, specifically Bolognese, figure-painting which Velázquez would have known from works in the Royal Collection in Madrid. The style & colouring of the picture suggest a date before the artist's first visit to Italy (1629-31). ...

The inscription around the edge of Christ's halo is from the New Testament (Philippians, 2:10) & translates as ' That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, & things in earth, & things under the earth'. The inscription arou ...

Christ is shown wearing the crown of thorns & the robe given to him in mockery by the soldiers before the Crucifixion. The episode is recounted in the New Testament (for example, in John 19: 1-3). Emotional imagery of this kind was designed to focus contemplation on the suffering of Christ, & seems to have been introduced into Italy by Netherlandish painters. ...

Such images of the weeping & suffering Christ were evidently popular & were produced in large numbers in the workshop of Dirk Bouts. This one is particularly skilfully painted, apparently by Bouts himself, towards the end of his life. ...

The figures at the foot of the Cross are the Virgin & Saint John. Those in the middle distance are probably the Three Maries (Mary Magdalene, Mary the wife of Cleophas & Mary the mother of James). Antonello's larger version of this subject painted in the same year is closer to the Netherlandish models, with a more narrative character & more distracting detail. The version here is contemplative in character, with the Virgin & Saint John shown in meditation. The landscape contributes to this mood of meditation. ...

At the age of twelve, Christ debated in the Temple of Jerusalem with senior scholars & priests & 'all that heard him were amazed at his understanding & his answers' (New Testament, Luke 2: 41-8). Mazzolino signifies that the building represents the Temple by including the relief of Moses above Christ's head & the Hebrew inscription. Much shell-gold is used in the painting of Christ. ...
