Bruegel the Elder, Christ carrying the Cross, detail 3

Vienna

Pieter Bruegel the Elder (ca 1525-1569), Christ carrying the Cross, also know as The Procession to Calvary, 1564, detail 3.
Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna

Crowds are walking while others go horse-riding towards Golgotha. To the upper right of the painting, a dense circle of onlookers are already waiting, impatient for the spectacle to come. In their middle two crosses are erected with in between a hole being dug to receive the third cross, from which Christ will hang.
