Christ, crowned with thorns and bearing the cross, turns toward the Virgin in her blue mantle. She reaches for him as Saint John steadies her, and Mary Magdalene kneels at her side, her long hair falling over her shoulders. Behind them, a Roman centurion on horseback directs the procession, and a man holds the hammer and nails. Paintings like this were made in series of fourteen for churches and chapels across Europe, each marking a stage of the Passion. The rich reds and deep blues give it real presence. It is framed in a silvered and gilt frame with shell corners and trailing flowers, touched with red bole, and it suits a library, a stairwell, or a quiet corner of a bedroom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyle: European devotional painting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAge: 19th century \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMedium: Oil on canvas, on its wooden stretcher\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails: Fourth Station of the Cross; silvered and gilt frame with shell corners, floral sprays, and red bole accents\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: 22.5\"W × 26.5\"H\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: Good antique condition with craquelure, light surface wear, and scattered small paint losses consistent with age.
