# Road to Calvary with Veronica's Veil [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [CARIANI, Giovanni]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 100 x 195 cm ## Commentary This work is one of Cariani's most wrenching and psychologically charged. It shows him at the height of his interest in Lombard art and even in Lombard industry, as Brescia and Milan were known for the manufacture of arms and armor. The painting likewise exhibits a Lombard intensity in the observation of naturalistic detail that lends particularity and authenticity to the scene. However, numerous elements of the painting were inspired by Northern prints \(by Scongauer, Cranach and Dürer\). ## Related artworks - [Portrait of Two Young Men]() - [Reclining Woman in a Landscape]() - [Sacred Conversation]() - [Seduction]() - [Sette Ritratti Albani \(Seven Albani Portraits\)]() - [St Sebastian between St Roch and St Margaret]() - [The Way to Calvary]() - [Virgin Enthroned with Angels and Saints]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
