Christ on the cross

Antoon van Dyck
Circa 1630
One hell of a Calvary!

This calvary was painted for the high altar of the Récollets convent's chapel in Lille, destroyed around 1850. It was probably gifted to the Récollets order by André de Fourmestraux des Wazières, a notable from an important Lille merchant family. The generous donor is said to have been buried with his wife at the foot of the altar!
