The Procession to Calvary, 1564 - Pieter Bruegel the Elder - WikiArt.org
Brussels Period (1563-1569) Genre:
Christianity, Jesus-Christ, Christ-Carrying-the-Cross
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Procession_to_Calvary_(Bruegel) File Source:
This is the second-largest known painting by Bruegel (after The Wine of Saint Martin's Day). For Bruegel the composition is unusually traditional. Perhaps because he was treating such a solemn religious event, he adopted a well-known scheme. Christ's insignificance among the crowds is a familiar device of mannerist painting, as is the artificial placing of Mary and her companions in a rocky foreground, which is deliberately distanced from the dramatic events taking place behind them.
