Object history

Listed as 'How they nailed Christ stretched out on the ground on the cross' in the 1505 estate sale of Queen Isabella I of Castile's belongings in Toro, it was acquired by Francisca Enríquez, Marchioness of Denia, along with nine other panels. In Paris at the beginning of the 20th century, Oskar Berl donated it to the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna in 1913.

Description

This painting is part of the Polyptych of Isabella I of Castile, which originally comprised forty-seven small panels. It depicts the moment when Christ, having carried the cross to Golgotha, is stripped of his garments and nailed to the cross. Christ is positioned at the center of the composition, surrounded by Roman soldiers and the thieves. The Flemish training of Juan de Flandes is evident in the treatment of the landscape, the detailed rendering of the characters’ faces, and the meticulous depiction of their garments.

Locations
* The relative location of dealers, antique shops, art galleries, and collectors leads us to the places where they were based or had one of their main headquarters. However, this does not always indicate that every artwork that passed through their hands was physically located there. In the case of antique dealers and art merchants, their business often extended across multiple territories; sometimes they would purchase items at their origin and send them directly to clients. Similarly, some collectors owned multiple residences, sometimes in different countries, where they housed their collections. It is often difficult to determine exactly where a specific piece was kept during its time in their possession. Consequently, the main location of the dealer or collector is indicated. These factors should be considered when interpreting the map. Refer to the object's history in each case.
