Title: Christ Carrying the Cross by El Greco

Caption: Christ Carrying the Cross by El Greco (Domenikos Theotokopoulos), oil on canvas, circa 1577-87. During his long career in Spain, El Greco produced numerous paintings of Christ carrying the cross. The Lehman canvas, arguably his earliest version of the subject, is not a narrative scene: no other figures are represented and the setting is not recognizable. Instead, it is a devotional image of haunting immediacy and resonant with pathos. Christ's willing sacrifice for mankind is expressed through his gentle embrace of the cross and his heavenward gaze.
