## Commentary

Gentileschi was almost forty years old when he joined the followers of Caravaggio. For a brief time around 1602, the two artists were friendly, exchanging studio props and a brown Capuchin habit to depict in their paintings of St Francis. This Way to Calvary is one of the most impressive examples of Gentileschi&#39;s new style in the middle of the first decade of the seventeenth century.
