The Passion: Christ Carrying the Cross

Hieronymus Wierix

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white engraving of a man with a crown of thorns on his head, wearing a long robe with a belt around his waist, kneeling on one knee while holding a large wooden cross with both hands. A man in armor on the right holds the rope around the cross. A crowd of people surrounds them; some are armed. A cityscape with towers and buildings, and a hill with trees are in the background. The text at the bottom appears to be in Latin.
