A painting by Alonso Cano acquired for Córdoba
12/4/24 - Acquisition - Córdoba, Mosque-Cathedral - Bent over or standing, with his arms tied behind his back or on his stomach, surrounded by his executioners or alone, Christ at the column is a subject that allows artists to depict a naked body, young and beautiful despite being bruised.
The Spaniard Alonso Cano painted it on several occasions, for example in pictures in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Pau and the Museu Nacional de Romania in Bucharest; an older, small wooden panel, dated 1620, is in the church of Santa Maria la Blanca in La Campana.
