Christ Bearing the Cross – (Claude Monet) Previous Next


Artist:

Size: 38 x 27 cm

Technique: Wood

This painting is one of a number that formerly were attributed to the Valenciennes artist Simon Marmion (active by 1449, died 1489). Although numerous manuscipt illuminations by Marmion are known, there are no documented paintings. The Saint Bertin Altarpiece (Gemäldegalerie, Berlin) has been assigned to Marmion on little more than circumstantial evidence. Among the finest of the paintings grouped around it are a Crucifixion in the John G. Johnson Collection, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and a Lamentation in the Robert Lehman Collection (1975.1.128) at The Met. The present picture is markedly inferior to these in quality. It is closely related stylistically to a Christ before Caiaphas in the Johnson Collection and may be by the same hand.
