About the piece
Attributed to the Flemish artist Jan Cossiers, this 1643 oil painting captures a somber and reflective moment as angels hold the Arma Christi, or instruments of the Passion. The work is a prime example of the emotive power of the Baroque era, using rich earth tones and a sophisticated play of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and spiritual gravity.
