Painting Description
"The Raising of the Cross" (1633) is a significant oil painting by the Dutch master Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, commonly known as Rembrandt. This work is renowned for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and powerful depiction of human emotion, which are characteristic of Rembrandt's Baroque style. The painting illustrates the biblical scene of Jesus Christ's crucifixion, capturing the moment when Christ is hoisted upon the cross at Golgotha.
Measuring 95.7 cm × 72.2 cm, the painting is noted for its dynamic composition and the intense expressions of the figures, which convey the physical strain and emotional turmoil of the event. Rembrandt's use of light not only highlights the central action but also serves to draw the viewer's attention to the pivotal figure of Christ. The artist's employment of a tenebrist palette, with stark contrasts between light and dark, further emphasizes the gravity of the scene.
Created during Rembrandt's early years in Amsterdam, "The Raising of the Cross" reflects the influence of Peter Paul Rubens, whose work Rembrandt studied during his formative years. The painting is also significant for featuring a self-portrait of Rembrandt in the crowd, a testament to his practice of inserting himself into his historical and religious works. This inclusion has been interpreted as a personal reflection on human sin and redemption.
"The Raising of the Cross" is part of a series of Passion paintings that Rembrandt was commissioned to produce for the Stadtholder, Prince Frederik Hendrik. Today, the painting is held in the collection of the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance. Its powerful rendering of a pivotal moment in Christian narrative and its exemplary demonstration of Rembrandt's mastery of light and shadow make it a masterpiece of 17th-century Dutch art.
