About this work

You see a busy market square with stalls selling vegetables, fish, bread, and cheese. In the background, three small scenes from Jesus’s last days play out at once: he’s whipped, shown to the crowd, and carries the cross. The mix is strange—everyday life right next to suffering. The artist packed the whole story into one frame, like a comic strip without panels. No one knows who painted it, but better versions exist in Moscow and Baton Rouge. To see how other artists handled crowded scenes, look up the Rijksmuseum’s collection.
