Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the canvas poster print we add a white margin 2-6cm round about the print motif, which facilitates the framing with a custom frame.

What does the The Metropolitan Museum of Art say about the 17th century work of art from the painter Pedro Orrente? (© Copyright - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

As recounted in the Gospel of Matthew 27:45-49, Christ has called out from the cross to God, and a bystander has “fetched a sponge, which he soaked in sour wine, and held it to his lips on the end of a cane.” Saint John stands below the cross as the Virgin Mary and two companions arrive, mourning, while three soldiers at left gamble for Christ's tunic. The figure on the ladder is a particularly brilliant narrative interpolation.Pedro Orrente spent time in Venice and Rome. Upon his return to Spain he worked in Toledo, where he knew El Greco, whose work must suddenly have looked old fashioned compared to the new naturalism of Caravaggesque painting. This is the finest of a much-repeated composition.
