Christ Falling Under the Cross n.d.

This pen drawing by Caspar Fraisinger depicts the moment when Jesus falls to the ground under the weight of the cross during his journey to Calvary, known as the Stations of the Cross. The artist utilizes dramatic chiaroscuro to portray the scene, emphasizing the agony of Christ while simultaneously drawing the viewer's attention to the Roman soldiers who are forcing him forward. The artwork's composition underscores the brutal nature of the event, making it a powerful example of 16th century Northern European religious art.
