Christ on the Cross between the Two Thieves
by RUBENS, Peter Paul, Oil on panel, 429 x 311 cm
The painting is also called as Pierced with a Lance.
Rubens’ close involvement with the resurgence of Catholicism and the struggle for power led to the production a numerous large altarpieces. His stirring baroque ideas come to the fore in The Lance, with its emotionally charged, highly plastic figures.
