About the piece

Painted around 1620, this masterpiece by Anthony van Dyck exemplifies the emotional intensity of the Flemish Baroque style. The composition centers on the luminous figure of Christ, contrasted against a stormy, atmospheric sky and the dynamic, muscular forms of the criminals. Below, a crowd of mourners and Roman soldiers on horseback creates a scene of profound gravity and technical brilliance.
