Christ Carrying the Cross 1575 - 1616

"Christ Carrying the Cross" is an etching by Jacques Bellange created between 1575 and 1616. The artwork depicts a dramatic scene from the Passion of Christ, showing the moment when Jesus is forced to carry the cross on his way to Calvary. The image is filled with figures, including the soldiers who are driving Christ forward, the women who are mourning his fate, and a lone man who has fallen to the ground in despair. This etching is a powerful representation of the suffering of Christ and the impact of his death on those around him.
