Christ's Fall on the way to Calvary 1772

Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo’s “Christ’s Fall on the way to Calvary” from 1772 depicts a dramatic moment from the Passion of Christ. The painting showcases Tiepolo’s mastery of Baroque composition, with swirling figures and dramatic use of light. The scene focuses on Christ, his face in pain, as he falls beneath the weight of the cross, highlighting the suffering and sacrifice of his final journey. This work is a powerful example of Tiepolo’s later style, with its emotional intensity and emphasis on human drama. The painting is currently housed in the Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain.
