"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 emblematic of Schmalz's style, which is characterized by its adherence to the Pre-Raphaelite movement and its focus on religious and historical themes. The painting depicts the somber procession of Christ and his followers as they return from the site of the crucifixion, capturing the profound grief and solemnity of the moment.

Schmalz's attention to detail and his use of rich, vibrant colors are evident in this piece, which is imbued with a sense of emotional depth and spiritual reflection. The artist's ability to convey the weight of the narrative through the expressions and postures of the figures is particularly noteworthy. "The Return from Calvary" is often highlighted for its dramatic portrayal of biblical events, rendered with a sensitivity that was well-received by the Victorian audience of Schmalz's time.

The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, reflecting its significance within Schmalz's oeuvre and its acceptance by the contemporary art establishment. As with many of Schmalz's works, "The Return from Calvary" reflects the artist's devout Christian faith and his desire to express religious devotion through his art. Today, the painting is recognized for its historical value and its role in the broader context of 19th-century British art, particularly within the genre of religious painting that sought to inspire and elevate the moral sensibilities of its viewers.
