Rubens was well placed to take advantage of the increasing demand
for scenes of Christ's Passion in the Southern Netherlands at the
beginning of the 17th Century. He had developed a reputation for
his religious paintings in Italy, and his return to Antwerp
coincided with the efforts of the Catholic Church to restore and
replace altarpieces damaged by the Calvinists. The experience of
Italy fostered Ruben's interest in both the historical and the
human aspects of Christ's Passion. The influence of classical
sculpture and of Titian, Michelangelo and Caravaggio is evident in
the monumental quality of his compositions, but he also valued the
emotional intensity of Northern masters like Rogier van der Weyden
and Quentin Massys. He made many innovations in his concern for
accuracy, especially in disputed subjects like the Elevation of the
Cross. Ruben's success in transforming all these diverse influences
is a tribute to his deeply held religious beliefs and his
determination to give his viewers the sense of witnessing a moment
in history. The images that Rubens created were appropriated
throughout Europe.
