"The Return From Calvary" is a notable painting by the British artist Herbert Gustave Schmalz, who later changed his name to Herbert Carmichael. Created in 1891, this work is an example of the Pre-Raphaelite style, which Schmalz was known to have been influenced by, particularly in his attention to detail, vivid colors, and themes of a religious or romantic nature.

The painting depicts the biblical scene of the Virgin Mary and her companions returning from the site of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, an event that holds significant emotional weight within Christian iconography. Schmalz's interpretation is characterized by its emotive portrayal of grief and devotion, capturing the solemnity and sorrow of the moment with a dramatic intensity that was typical of his work.

Measuring at an impressive scale, "The Return From Calvary" is a testament to Schmalz's skill in composition and his ability to convey narrative through visual art. The figures are rendered with a lifelike quality, and the use of light and shadow serves to enhance the emotional impact of the scene. The artist's meticulous approach to the painting's details, from the textures of the clothing to the expressions of the figures, demonstrates his commitment to the Pre-Raphaelite principles of beauty and truth to nature.

"The Return From Calvary" was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, where Schmalz's works were regularly shown. The painting was well-received in its time and contributed to the artist's reputation as a significant figure in the late Victorian art scene. Today, the painting is considered an important piece within Schmalz's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical value, reflecting the religious sentiments and aesthetic preferences of the period in which it was created.
