Christ Carrying the Cross 

Giovanni Bellini's "Christ Carrying the Cross" is a powerful portrayal of the suffering of Jesus Christ. The painting focuses on Christ's face, with a crown of thorns, and his gaze directed towards the viewer, expressing a deep sense of sorrow and determination. This intimate portrayal of the "Via Dolorosa" (the Way of Sorrow) was typical of Bellini's detailed and empathetic style. Bellini was a major figure in the Venetian school of painting, known for his masterful use of light and color, which adds to the emotional weight of this iconic scene.
