| Title: | Road to Calvary |
|---|
| Notes: | The work emphasizes the new priorities of Counter-Reformation painting by diminishing the importance of the natural world in favor of details considered more essential to the audience’s salvation. In the foreground a man relieves a condemned thief with a draft from his vessel, and Saint Veronica offers to wipe the sweat from Christ’s brow, each emphasizing the importance of good works |
