# Christ Carrying the Cross [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LIGOZZI, Jacopo]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 136 x 102 cm ## Commentary This painting is dated 1604, a period in which the artist concentrated on scenes from the Passion, a theme that would continue to occupy him into the following decade. Following the demise of Mannerism, Ligozzi selected more somber subjects to appeal to the Florentine Counter-Reformation, the verisimilitude of his scenes and his intensely expressive figures setting him apart from the ostentatious Baroque style fashionable in contemporary Florence. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Agony in the Garden]() - [Agony in the Garden]() - [Allegory of Fortune]() - [Gerbil]() - [Model for a pietre dure table top]() - [Pineapple \(Bromelia ananas\)]() - [Portrait of Leopoldo de' Medici in Swaddling]() - [Psittacus Ararauna]() - [Sacrifice of Isaac]() - [The Rape of the Sabine Women \(detail\)]() - [The Rape of the Sabine Women]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
