About the Item

This early 18th-century Flemish oil painting depicts Christ on the cross with a sorrowful Mary Magdalene and Jerusalem beyond. Head bloodied by a crown of thorns, arms taut and wracked with pain, it’s a moment of utmost suffering tempered by enduring love. In the foreground, a partial skull is a conspicuous inclusion. It’s a Memento Mori (Latin: remember you will die). Is Mary praying for Christ’s salvation or the future of mankind? Over the centuries, Christ’s crucifixion has often been the subject of artistic portrayals, with numerous figures included at the foot of the cross. This version, painted circa 1720, echoes an earlier model adopted by Flemish artist, Cornelis de Baellieur the Elder (1607-1671). The figure of Christ is also reminiscent of Rubens’ interpretation from circa 1618-1620, reversed. Held in a later frame. Provenance: Private collection, Germany. Our reference: BRV1928

Early 19th-Century Central European School, Christ The Saviour
Located in Cheltenham, GB
This early 19th-century central European oil painting depicts Christ The Saviour standing atop an orb and carrying a cross over his left shoulder. An unusual composition, Christ’s rather striking posture is perhaps more ‘Saturday Night Fever’ than it is sacramental. However, the iconography is archaic and derived ultimately from New Testament illustrations dating to the Middle Ages. Depictions of orbs are usually symbolic of the universe, while the cross alludes to redemption. Hence, it’s a visual representation of Christ as the Saviour of humanity. Francisco de Zurbarán...
