Christ Carrying the Cross, with the Crucifixion; The Resurrection, with the Pilgrims of Emmaus 1507 - 1513

Gerard David's "Christ Carrying the Cross, with the Crucifixion; The Resurrection, with the Pilgrims of Emmaus" (1507-13) is a diptych, or two-panel painting, that illustrates key moments in the Passion of Christ. The left panel depicts Christ carrying the cross, while the right panel shows his resurrection. The panels are linked by a shared theme of faith and the human response to Christ's suffering and sacrifice. David was a prominent painter in the Northern Renaissance, and his work is characterized by meticulous detail and a luminous palette. This diptych is a prime example of his artistic style, showcasing both his technical mastery and his deeply religious vision.
