Christ Carrying the Cross 1500 - 1600

Wolfgang Huber’s “Christ Carrying the Cross” (1500-1600) is a small, detailed pen and ink drawing depicting a pivotal moment in the Passion of Christ. The scene focuses on the physical strain of carrying the heavy cross, as Jesus stumbles and falls to the ground. The dramatic composition emphasizes the weight of the cross and the surrounding crowd’s indifference, highlighting the theme of suffering and sacrifice. This piece is a testament to Huber’s skill in capturing both emotion and realism in his artwork.
