Based on a work by Jan van Eyck, which is now only known from copies, stand-alone representations, prints and paintings of the Carrying of the Cross from the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries are increasingly common. And where one artist zooms in on Christ's suffering, and thereby creates a so-called "Andachtsbild", others show panoramic views, with myriads of figures. At first sight, nothing more than a Christian image, some painters incorporated direct or indirect social criticism into their Carrying the Cross.
