Christ Crucifixion Day Light Fresco Juan Navarra Oliver Pamplona Passion 14th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 14th century fresco, titled "Passion of Oliver," depicts the intense moment of the Crucifixion of Christ as depicted in the Spanish Gothic tradition. The painting, attributed to Juan de Olieta or Juan de Borgoña, dates back to the late 14th century and is believed to have originally adorned the walls of a Navarrese cathedral in Pamplona, Spain. The outdoor setting of this masterpiece is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the intricacies of the human form and the raw emotion of the scene. The use of vibrant colors, particularly the deep blues and rich reds, adds depth and drama to the image. At the center of the painting, Christ is depicted in agony on the cross, his body contorted in pain as he takes upon himself the sins of humanity. His mother, the Virgin Mary, stands at the foot of the cross, her face etched with sorrow as she watches her beloved son suffer. The figures of the apostles and other saints are scattered around the scene, each reacting with their own unique expressions of grief and despair. The intricate details of the painting are truly breathtaking, from the folds of the robes to the individual hairs on the heads of the figures. The use of chiaroscuro, or the contrast between light and dark, adds a sense of depth and dimension to the image. This masterpiece is a testament to the artistic prowess of the 14th century Spanish Gothic tradition and a reminder of the enduring power of religious art to move and inspire us. Today, the "Passion of Oliver" can be found in a museum in Pamplona, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
