Christos purtându-și crucea is an unspecified by Maestrul lui „Ecce homo” din Augsburg, a Byzantine icon painting work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows Jesus carrying the cross, his face tight with pain. A soldier in red pushes from behind. The sharp light and dark contrast is strong—it’s called chiaroscuro. You can almost feel the weight of the wood. This was made by an unknown artist from Augsburg. They painted this around the same time as religious scenes got more dramatic. Check out the Museum of Ethnography where this hangs.
This anonymous painter from late medieval Augsburg made scenes of Christ’s suffering in sharp, angular folds of color.
