About this work
A bearded man wearing a crown of thorns bears a large wooden cross across his shoulder, gripping its beam with both hands as he moves forward. Behind and beside him, indistinct figures wearing head coverings and carrying spears press close, their faces turned toward him or away into the gloom. The background is a turbulent mass of dark clouds lit unevenly from within.
Deep blues, browns, and muted flesh tones dominate, with the central face picked out in warmer light against the cold, stormy backdrop. The brushwork is loose and heavily worked, blurring the crowd into shadow while sharpening the central figure's expression of strain and resolve. The mood is somber and charged, built for dramatic weight over fine detail.
