Christ Carrying the Cross

About this work

This image shows a group of people walking together. One man in the center wears a crown of thorns and carries something heavy. The others look worried or tired, with one woman holding her head. Buildings and trees fill the background, and the whole scene is outlined in bright orange. The colors are added by hand after the black lines were carved into wood. This was a common way to make prints before photography. Look up woodcut to see how artists like this made many copies of their work.
