About the piece
Painted in 1601 by Christian Richter, this evocative work depicts the biblical scene of Christ taking leave of his mother before his Passion. The composition features rich, saturated tones of crimson and lapis blue, set against a brooding landscape background featuring a distant castle and a gnarled tree, exemplifying the dramatic narrative style of the late Renaissance.
