The Passion of Christ

J. Richard Judson

Rubens was well placed to take advantage of the increasing demand for scenes of Christ’s Passion in the Southern Netherlands at the beginning of the 17th century. He had developed a reputation for his religious paintings in Italy, and his return to Antwerp coincided with the efforts of the Catholic Church to restore alterpieces damaged by the Calvinists. The influence of classical sculpture is evident in the quality of his compositions, which at the same time evoke his deeply held religious beliefs and his determination to give his viewers the sense of witnessing a moment in history.
