"Saint Veronica Holding Out Her Veil to Christ on the Road to Calvary" is a notable painting by the Flemish artist Frans II Francken (1581–1642), a prominent member of the Francken family of painters who were influential in the development of Flemish Baroque painting. This artwork, dating from the early 17th century, depicts the apocryphal story of Saint Veronica, who, according to Christian tradition, offered Jesus her veil to wipe his face as he carried the cross to his crucifixion at Calvary. The image of Christ's face was miraculously imprinted on the cloth, creating the relic known as the Veil of Veronica.

Francken's rendition of this scene is characteristic of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on piety and compassion, themes that were commonly explored in religious art of the period. The painting is a testament to Francken's skill in composition and his ability to convey narrative and emotion. His work often included complex, multi-figure compositions, and this painting is no exception, with a crowded scene full of movement and expression.

The painting is executed in oil on panel, a medium typical of the time, and showcases Francken's adept use of color and detail to highlight the central figures amidst the chaos of Christ's march to Golgotha. The work is part of Francken's larger oeuvre, which includes both religious and allegorical subjects, as well as genre scenes.

"Saint Veronica Holding Out Her Veil to Christ on the Road to Calvary" is an important work within the context of Flemish Baroque art and provides insight into the religious and cultural milieu of the Counter-Reformation. The painting is also significant for its portrayal of Veronica, a female figure who has been venerated for her act of compassion, and for its artistic representation of a key moment in the Passion of Christ. The current location of the painting, its provenance, and its critical reception are aspects that contribute to its historical and artistic value.
