This oil-on-panel depiction of Jesus carrying his Cross is a spectacular example of the Flemish school.
The profusion of expressive, polychromatic figures is a constant in the work of Franz Francken (1581-1642).
The panel is made of oak, with four non-parqueted boards, and bears the mark of the Antwerp guild.
The gilded molded wood pastel frame is a French work from the Louis XV period, with a few spots of damage.
This museum-quality work has a second, almost identical version of the same dimensions. It is preserved at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, as shown in the last photograph.
The details of our depiction are more finely realized, and the background is enriched, particularly on the right-hand side of the work.
