Bruegel the Elder, Christ carrying the Cross, detail 1

Vienna

Pieter Bruegel the Elder (ca 1525-1569), Christ carrying the Cross, also know as The Procession to Calvary, 1564, detail 1.
Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna

Christ fallen under the weight of the cross, however at the centre of the painting, doesn’t deserve much attention, since being almost absorbed into the painting’s main subject, a myriad of little scenes with tiny vibrant figures, gathering for a special happening. All of them are dressed in Flemish contemporary garments, which means clearly Bruegel’s intention to portray scenes of Flemish present day customs and smoothly critical behaviour though.
