La salita al Calvario is a 1594 oil by Unknown, a Mannerism work, held at Foundation E.G. Bührle Collection.
The painting depicts a dramatic scene with multiple figures, some on horseback, others on foot, amidst a dark and moody landscape. The central focus is a group of people in various poses, with some appearing to be in distress or turmoil. In the foreground, a figure in a red robe stands out, while others are dressed in more subdued tones. The background features a mix of dark greens and browns, with hints of blue in the distance. This painting showcases the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of depth and volume.
