The story of this work

Overview

A watercolour copy by Eduard Kaiser depicts three figures beneath an arched top, with Christ on the left holding a walking stick and one of the disciples supporting him. The work reproduces a fresco by Fra Bartolomeo in the Convento di San Marco, Florence, originally created around 1500. Commissioned by the Arundel Society, the watercolour was later published as a chromolithograph in 1870. Acquired by the National Gallery in 1995, it has been exhibited at the Victoria & Albert Museum.
