Description
Madrid School, 17th century.
"Christ presented to the people".
Oil on canvas.
Relined.
Period frame.
Remains of xylophages.
Measurements: 43,5 x 53,5 cm; 63,5 x 54,5 cm (frame).
This is one of the most represented scenes of the Passion during the Baroque period, because it concentrates a moment of maximum tension and contained dramatism. Pilate hands over to the enraged people the power to condemn Jesus, who, with his hands tied behind his back, is shown to the crowd, who will decide his fate and that of humanity. In this composition, set in an oval tondo, the body of Jesus occupies the foreground. Sculpted by a light that falls on his naked and tense anatomy, his gaze, on the other hand, conveys peace and forgiveness. His calm face contrasts with the ferocity of the individuals who insult him and brandish their arms, calling for his death. In the distance, two crosses are silhouetted against the mountain of Golgotha, awaiting the third, thus foreshadowing the coming events: the Stations of the Cross, death and resurrection. In this way, different planes of depth follow one after the other with narrative intent. The distant sierras are blurred between blue and glaucous shades. In the foreground, above the sea of agitated bodies, the instruments of martyrdom loom menacingly. The emblems of the Passion and the descriptive emphasis coexist in this singular composition which is at the same time fully inscribed in the baroque language.
