Set against the backdrop of a contemporary townscape, this theatrical portrayal of Christ’s Way to Calvary recalls an annual civic celebration in Bruges, the Procession of the Holy Blood, which included a reenactment of the episodes shown: Christ carrying the cross aided by Simon of Cyrene, Veronica receiving the icon of the Holy Face, and the Virgin and Saint John waiting for Christ. The procession was the responsibility of the Confraternity of the Holy Blood, whose members follow the armored horseman carrying the group's official standard.The painting reflects a lost work by Van Eyck, known from copies.
