Description
Jesus Carrying the Cross: an upright painting for hallways, stairwells and studies
The painting shows Jesus in a white robe and red mantle, with a crown of thorns and a halo, walking barefoot over rocks with a large wooden cross on his shoulder. Behind him, under a stormy green-grey sky, follow a few people and a helmeted soldier. The Jesus Carrying the Cross painting comes in 4 upright sizes, from 40 x 50 to 100 x 125 cm. Above a hallway console about 120 cm long, choose 80 x 100 cm, about two thirds as wide as the console, over a 150 cm desk take 100 x 125 cm, and for a stairwell 60 x 75 cm.
Pick YES under Stretcher and this upright canvas is delivered stretched and ready to hang. A frame is optional: for the Jesus Carrying the Cross painting the Frame menu starts at “Without frame”. The 60 x 75 cm size is delivered in 6 days, the other sizes in 15–45 days. The whole scene is hand-painted with a brush, so this painting is not a print.
What does the upright Jesus Carrying the Cross show?
The upright Jesus Carrying the Cross shows a classic scene from the Way of the Cross: Jesus in a white robe and red mantle, with a crown of thorns and a halo, walks barefoot over rocks with a large wooden cross on his shoulder. Behind him, under a stormy green-grey sky, follow a few people and a helmeted soldier. In Christian art the red mantle recalls the mocking before the sentence, the bare feet humility, and the soldier that Jesus went to Calvary under guard.
Where does the upright Jesus Carrying the Cross belong?
The upright Jesus Carrying the Cross belongs in a hallway, by the stairs, in a study, above a dresser or in a prayer corner. Keep the centre of the upright version at eye level, about 150 cm from the floor; by the stairs, measure from the middle of the steps. Above a console or desk, leave 20 to 30 cm between the top and the bottom edge. The red mantle against the stormy sky stands out on a light wall.
How is the upright Jesus Carrying the Cross painted?
The upright Jesus Carrying the Cross is hand-painted by our painters with a brush. The stormy sky and the rocks come first, then Jesus in the white robe and red mantle with the cross, and last the followers and the soldier in the background. The folds of the mantle and the light on the face are built up in several layers, so every upright Jesus Carrying the Cross comes out a little different. A photograph of the finished upright version comes to you for approval, and only then do we ship it.
Rolled, stretched or framed?
We ship the upright Jesus Carrying the Cross the way you choose: rolled, stretched on a 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher, or framed. The upright version is stretched and framed in our workshop in Slovenia, and you pick the frame in the Frame menu. Stretched, it arrives ready to hang; rolled makes sense when a framer near you will frame the upright version.
Is the upright Jesus Carrying the Cross a good gift?
The upright Jesus Carrying the Cross is a gift for Easter, a confirmation, a priest or a parish setting up Stations of the Cross. The 60 x 75 cm size fits the wall by the stairs or a hallway. If you do not know the wall, a gift voucher lets the recipient choose.
