Christ bearing the Cross

Ca. 1555. Oil on panel.
Room 043

When Charles V retired to Yuste, he took with him a panel by Coxcie as a pair to a Mater dolorosa by Titian. This may be that work. The Emperor’s choice indicates the prestige that Coxcie enjoyed during his lifetime due to his Italianate style. Here his treatment of the subject is comparable to that of Sebastiano del Piombo.
