Christ Carrying the Cross, Sebastiano del Piombo, 1515, Art Institute of Chicago: European Painting and Sculpture

This painting by represents one of the most popular compositions invented by one of the most distinguished painters working in Rome during the High Renaissance. In the 1510s, following an early period in Venice, Sebastiano del Piombo traveled to Rome, where he was drawn into the lively atmosphere of competition between the two great luminaries of the period, Michelangelo Buonarroti and Raphael. Michelangelo took Sebastiano under his wing, teaching him his monumental style and providing drawings for some of Sebastiano’s major commissions. Following Raphael’s death in 1520, the painter and historian Giorgio Vasari stated that“first place in the art of painting was unanimously granted by all, thanks to the favor of Michelangelo, to Sebastiano.” Christ Carrying the Cross draws upon recent developments of an enormously popular iconography by artists including Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione, and Andrea Mantegna, among others. Here, Simon of Cyrene assists Jesus, emphasizing the heavy weight of the cross on his shoulders. A Roman soldier stands behind, his jeering face just visible in the darkness. In the background, the tightly packed composition opens up onto a crowd assembling at the foot of the hill of Golgotha, with two crosses barely visible. The luminous landscape is a hallmark of the artist’s Venetian training. The painting’s dramatic visual impact is a result of the powerful diagonals of the cross; the dynamic, almost sculptural quality of Christ’s clothing; and the pathos of his expression. The popularity of Sebastiano’s composition is reflected in the number of surviving variants that he created over the course of his career. The Art Institute’s version is an autograph replica of a painting—now in the Museo del Prado, Madrid—made for Jerónimo Vich y Valterra, the Spanish ambassador to Rome. Other versions survive in the State Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg; the Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales, Madrid; and the Szépmüvészeti Múzeum, Budapest.

MONASTERIO DE LAS DESCALZAS REALES

El Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales, en pleno corazón de Madrid, constituye un espacio de culto y tranquilidad donde el visitante puede observar el contraste con el bullicio de la capital. Fue voluntad de su fundadora, Juana de Austria (1535-1573), hija menor del Emperador Carlos V y princesa de Portugal, convertir el palacio en el que ella misma nació, y que pertenecía al tesorero de su padre, en un monasterio de monjas clarisas. En él instaló sus aposentos tras su regreso de Portugal, y en la capilla que ocupa el mismo espacio en el que vino al mundo descansa su cuerpo.

El Monasterio ha sido catalogado como Bien de Interés Cultural, obteniendo además la distinción de Museo Europeo del año 1987. La comunidad religiosa de clarisas franciscanas que lo habita llegó en 1559, y popularmente se las conoce como las Descalzas Reales, denominación que se debe a que calzan unas sencillas sandalias en cualquier época del año.

El edificio, que Juana de Austria no pudo ver finalizado debido a su temprana muerte, reúne las características del palacio plateresco castellano, con columnas de mármol de Génova en los patios, y salones decorados con azulejos y yeserías en la tradición morisca, pero con formas ya del Renacimiento. La sobria fachada del Monasterio hace difícil adivinar la riqueza que atesora el interior del edificio, repleto de pinturas murales, cuadros, belenes, relicarios y tapices, entre muchas obras de arte, que componen su fascinante historia. La Escalera Principal de la casa-palacio originaria es una de las piezas más relevantes, con decoración realizada con pinturas murales de los siglos XVI y XVII.

Además, Princesas e infantas solían pasar temporadas en el llamado “Cuarto Real”, donde vivió y murió la emperatriz María y se educó Isabel Clara Eugenia (1566-1633), hija de Felipe II, que posteriormente regaló al convento la famosa serie de tapices de Rubens sobre la Eucaristía, destinada a alhajar la iglesia y el claustro de capellanes, entre los que se encontraba el compositor renacentista Tomás Luis de Victoria, maestro de capilla de esta casa y de la Emperatriz María.
