About this work

This painting depicts a dramatic scene with Jesus Christ at its center. He is surrounded by a crowd of people, some of whom appear to be rejecting or turning away from him. The atmosphere is tense and emotional, with strong contrasts of light and dark. In the foreground, several figures are shown in various states of agitation or distress. Some are gesturing or pointing, while others seem to be looking away or covering their faces. The overall mood is one of turmoil and conflict.
