Christ Carrying the Cross
The artist known as El Greco, Domenikos Theotokopoulos, a native of Greece, had a long career in Spain. He produced numerous paintings of Christ carrying the cross. This one, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, dates from 1577-87 and might be his earliest version of the subject. Once again, Jesus is depicted in calmness, with a gentle embrace of the cross and a heavenward gaze.
