[title not known] Possibly 1843

Curator: Looking at this print by John Linnell, we see an unnamed work depicting Christ carrying the cross. It resides in the Tate Collections. Editor: The stark black and white lends a sense of drama, wouldn't you agree? The figure of Christ is powerful, but the other man cowering is quite interesting. Curator: Indeed. The second figure appears to be Saint Peter, recoiling from the recognition of Jesus's impending fate. The cross is a potent symbol, of course, carrying millennia of theological weight. Editor: Absolutely, and considering Linnell's context, we can also interpret this through the lens of societal burdens—the individual's struggle against systemic oppression, if you will. Curator: It certainly resonates with themes of sacrifice and suffering that continue to be relevant, doesn't it? Editor: It really does. I'm left pondering the weight we all carry, both literal and metaphorical. Curator: A powerful piece prompting timeless questions.
