Annunziata in Messina, Sicily (now in the Museo Nazionale di Capodimonte, Naples). It shows Christ collapsing under the weight of the Cross as he carries it to Calvary where he will be crucified.\n\nRaphael’s Way to Calvary of about 1516 (Prado, Madrid), was the starting point for the design, but Polidoro quickly developed his own dramatic and highly idiosyncratic response to the subject. The painting is crowded, claustrophobic and fraught with emotion.\n\nPolidoro has skilfully manipulated the strength of colour to increase the intensity and drama of the story. The National Gallery’s oil sketch is the only version to include the figure of the Virgin Mary collapsing in grief, which is taken up so dramatically in the finished picture.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/polidoro-da-caravaggio-the-way-to-calvary\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - The Way to Calvary\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polidoro Da Caravaggio","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":44294910181489,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (29 5\/8\" x 23 3\/8\")","offer_id":44294910214257,"sku":null,"price":1246.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (20 1\/8\" x 15 7\/8\")","offer_id":44294910247025,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 5\/8\" x 19 3\/8\")","offer_id":44294910279793,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (30 1\/4\" x 23 7\/8\")","offer_id":44294910312561,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (39\" x 30 5\/8\")","offer_id":44294910345329,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (46 3\/4\" x 36 7\/8\")","offer_id":44294910378097,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (55 1\/8\" x 43 1\/4\")","offer_id":44294910410865,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (66 1\/8\" x 52 1\/8\")","offer_id":44294910443633,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/3934\/0401\/files\/TheWaytoCalvary.jpg?v=1787542861","url":"https:\/\/mastermuseumreplicas.com\/products\/the-way-to-calvary-ngal1472","provider":"Master Museum Replicas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
