Crucifixion and Passion in Christian Art

Works of Christian art depicting the Passion of Christ, the events of his arrest, trial, suffering, death and burial in the days before Easter, and the earliest appearances of the Risen Christ that directly continue that narrative. Includes scenes such as Christ before Caiaphas, the deposition of Christ's body with Joseph of Arimathea, the risen Christ appearing between Saints Andrew and Longinus, the doubting Thomas placing his hand in Christ's wound, and Saint Veronica, whose own legend is inseparable from the road to Calvary. A narrative or devotional scene set earlier in Christ's ministry belongs to Life of Christ in Christian Art instead.
