Three Crosses, Rembrandt

(Click to view a larger version)

One of my favorite Rembrandt paintings of all time, The Three Crosses.  The various groups, from Pharisees to soldiers to weeping women vividly portrays the equally varied types of relational stances toward the cross.  In the midst of controlled realism, Rembrandt’s faces always point the viewer toward the inner man.
