Oil painting on canvas. Italian school of the 17th century. The large scene represents the dramatic event of the death of Jesus on the Cross, with all the actors who appear in the Gospel, emerging from a dark and gloomy background in which a dull sun can just be glimpsed on the left. In the center the large Cross of Christ stands out almost alone, occupying the upper part of the painting; on both sides the crosses of the two crucified thieves with Jesus, the one on the left, the good redeemed thief, turned to look and talk to Christ, the one on the right in a frontal position, with his gaze running away from the center. At the foot of the Cross, on the left Mary and the group of pious women behind her, on the right Saint John the Apostle; all around, the priests, the accusers of Jesus who are still arguing among themselves, and in the background all the people. Standing out in the foreground at the bottom left is the half-length figure of a modern-day priest looking at the Cross with clasped hands, and which probably corresponds to the person who commissioned the canvas. The canvas was restored and relined, and applied to a new stretcher. It is presented in a stylish frame.
