The Passion is a 1597 by Hendrik Goltzius, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a group of people gathered around a table, with a cityscape visible through a window in the background. The scene is set in a room with stone walls and a high ceiling, and the people are dressed in simple robes. In the foreground, a man with long hair and a halo sits at the center of the table, surrounded by others who are eating and drinking. The atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, with the figures lost in thought.
