Die Heilige Veronika reicht Christus das Schweißtuch is a 1610 paint by Unknown, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
This painting depicts a chaotic scene of a crowd of people, some of whom are on horseback, in a rocky landscape. The figures are dressed in various attire, with some wearing hats and others carrying weapons. In the foreground, a figure in white is prominent, while in the background, a cityscape is visible. A notable detail is the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth. This is evident in the way the light sources are used to highlight certain figures and create shadows in the background. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up the technique itself.
