{"product_id":"christ-carrying-the-cross-girolamo-da-santacroce","title":"Christ Carrying the Cross - Girolamo da Santacroce","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Renaissance depiction of Christ carrying the cross, attributed to the Venetian painter Girolamo da Santacroce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work by Girolamo da Santacroce depicts the moment of Christ bearing the cross towards Calvary. The composition follows the traditional iconography of the period, placing the central figure in a kneeling posture under the weight of the timber. To the left, the Virgin Mary and other figures observe the event with expressions of sorrow. The background features a fortified city wall and architectural elements typical of Venetian painting from the early sixteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGirolamo da Santacroce was active in Venice, where he absorbed the influence of Giovanni Bellini and Cima da Conegliano. His approach to figure painting is characterised by clear outlines and a balanced distribution of colour. The drapery of the garments is rendered with attention to volume, creating a sense of weight and movement. The golden haloes are applied with a decorative sensibility, reflecting the lingering influence of earlier devotional traditions within the Venetian school.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scene is constructed with a focus on narrative clarity. The soldiers positioned near the gate provide a contrast to the mourning group, establishing a tension between the secular authority and the sacred subject. The landscape elements, including the distant hills and structures, are painted with a degree of stylisation that directs the viewer's attention back to the primary action in the foreground. This print captures the specific tonal qualities of the original panel, preserving the muted palette and the precise brushwork of the artist. It offers a view into the devotional art produced for private or ecclesiastical commissions in the Veneto region during the Renaissance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/annunciation-with-saint-emidius-carlo-crivelli\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAnnunciation with Saint Emidius - Carlo Crivelli — Carlo Crivelli\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/sistine-chapel-ceiling-the-prophet-joel-michelangelo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSistine Chapel Ceiling: The Prophet Joel - Michelangelo — Michelangelo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Girolamo da Santacroce","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58759446888783,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58759493583183,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58759493615951,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58759493648719,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58759493681487,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58759493714255,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58759493747023,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58759493779791,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58759493812559,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58759493845327,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58759493878095,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58759493910863,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Christ-Carrying-the-Cross_Poster_CompositorV1_1789234916142.jpg?v=1789236252","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/christ-carrying-the-cross-girolamo-da-santacroce","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
