Christ Carrying the Cross ca. 1520-25 Jan Gossart (called Mabuse) Christ appears isolated outside the walls of Jerusalem, stumbling and weighed down by the heavy burden of the cross. His elaborate pose reflects Gossarts study of Roman sculpture. Intended for private meditation, Gossarts poignant depiction of the suffering Savior responds to widely popular texts such as Thomas à Kempiss De Imitatione Christi (Imitation of Christ, about 1420), which advocated personal and empathic contemplation focused on the individual events of Christs Passion. Used as a visual aid for private devotion, the small painting was most likely either hung on a wall or hand-held.. Christ Carrying the Cross 439977

Baptism of Christ ca. 1480-1490 Workshop of Veit Stoss German Saint John the Baptist baptizes Christ in the presence of an angel. The shallow relief was once part of an interior wing to a lost altarpiece. The composition follows a popular engraving by Martin Schongauer of about 1480. The Nuremberg sculptor Veit Stoss employed numerous assistants for his altarpiece in the Church of the Virgin in Cracow, Poland, and it was probably one of these assistants who carved this relief.

The Apparition of the Virgin of El Pilar to St. James 1773 Nicolás Enríquez Mexican This painting depicts the appearance of the Virgin Mary to Saint James and his followers on the bank of the Ebro River, outside the city walls of Zaragoza, Spain. According to tradition, the Virgin, who appeared on top of a stone pillar, was conveyed from Jerusalem by angels to encourage the saint in his evangelization of the Roman province of Hispania. The saint is accompanied by seven disciples, among them a man whose features may be those of the paintings owner, Juan Bautista Echeverría.Recognized as patron of Aragon in 1678, the Virgin of El Pilar was revered throughout the Spanish world. In Mexico City the devotion is associated with the convent church known as the Enseñanza, where an ivory replica of the Zaragoza Virgin was venerated..
