A profound meditation on faith and compassion, this oil on panel exemplifies the Venetian High Renaissance tradition in the manner of Giorgione.
The composition presents a dramatic between Christ and one of his torturers—whose weathered visage and clasped hands convey blind rage. Inspired by the celebrated *Christ Carrying the Cross*, a work long contested between Giorgione and Titian, this painting harnesses chiaroscuro with remarkable subtlety, drawing the viewer into the emotional intensity of the moment.
Christ's luminous countenance and pale drapery emerge from shadow, Christ face is certainly the best and best preserved part of the painting, wheresas the elder's upturned face was probably altered by a later restoration.
The artist's mastery of light and naturalistic form transforms this passage of the Passion into a timeless dialogue between human suffering and divine grace.
Oil on panel; 64 cm × 48 cm.
