"Cristo Portacroce" is a seminal work by the Italian artist Jacopo Bassano, also known as Jacopo da Ponte. Painted circa 1544-1545, the painting depicts an episode from the of Christ, where Jesus is portrayed bearing the Cross on his way to Golgotha for Crucifixion. The painting demonstrates the great sensitivity of Bassano towards peasant life, a theme evident in the sober, humble garments of Christ and Simon of Cyrene, who is depicted helping Jesus carry the Cross.

Measuring 103 × 81.5 cm, the painting is currently held by the Kunsthistoiches Museum in Vienna. In ''Cristo Portacroce'', Bassano has managed to combine the devotional intensity of religious iconography with the tranquil realities of rural life. The influence of Titian’s coloring is seen in the luminous skin tones of the figures, while the Italian countryside in the background, bathed in a gentle, diffused light, provides an atmospheric contrast to the sorrow-laden scene in the foreground.

Bassano's profoundly human portrayal of Christ's suffering presents a departure from the idealized depictions commonly seen during the period. The painting's focus on Christ's vulnerability and human suffering, foregrounds the theme of Christian humility and highlights Bassano's skill at blending the spiritual and the everyday. Bassano provided a model for subsequent generations of artists in fusing the divine and human elements in religious painting, making "Cristo Portacroce" a pivotal work in the canon of European religious art.
