Légende

Head of Christ, about 1525-1530. Additional Info: As Christ stumbled under the weight of the cross that he bore on the way to his crucifixion, Saint Veronica comforted him and wiped the blood and sweat from his face with her veil. The frontal view adopted in this portrait recalls the depiction of Christ’s face as it was miraculously imprinted on the veil of Saint Veronica, but instead of depicting the imprint of Christ’s face, Correggio paints Christ himself, looking out at the viewer.
