Landschap met Kruisdraging 1530 - 1560

This 16th-century engraving by Herri met de Bles depicts the "Carrying of the Cross", a scene from the Passion of Christ. The detailed composition features Christ carrying the cross, followed by a procession of figures winding through a mountainous landscape towards a walled city. The scene is filled with details, including birds in the sky, figures on horseback, and a bridge crossing a river. This print, now in the Rijksmuseum, showcases the artist's skill in depicting complex scenes with precision and meticulous detail.
