About this work
This painting depicts the raising of a cross with a nude figure suspended on it while workers haul ropes and a ladder rises beside him. A mounted soldier in armour and a crowd of mourners, including a woman in blue at lower left, fill the foreground, with a walled city and hills receding in the distance. Charles Le Brun painted this work in 1685, and it is held by the Musée du Louvre.
