Christ Carrying the Cross

Italian artist Titian painted this powerful image of Christ carrying the cross to Calvary. The composition focuses on Christ's face and the weight of suffering with the rich color and emotional depth characteristic of Venetian painting.

This painting hangs in the same building as Giorgione's version of the subject, allowing visitors to compare two Venetian masters. The work is at the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice.
