Bosch is one of the masters of the Northern Renaissance, whose style specialists still have difficulty determining. They say that he was a madman or a sectarian. That with his paintings he described the black magic he practiced or witnessed. Or that he was a surrealist, splashing images onto canvas directly from the subconscious - his name often pops up along with Salvador Dali’s. In any case, Bosch’s paintings are painted in the "alla prima" technique, which involves applying paint to the canvas in one layer rather than several, without long waiting, and are full of monsters, unobvious interpretations and deep meanings.

Description of Hieronymus Bosch’s The Carrying of the Cross
Bosch is one of the masters of the Northern Renaissance, whose style specialists still have difficulty determining. They say that he was a madman or a sectarian. That with his paintings he described the black magic he practiced or witnessed. Or that he was a surrealist, splashing images onto canvas directly from the subconscious - his name often pops up along with Salvador Dali’s.
In any case, Bosch’s paintings are painted in the "alla prima" technique, which involves applying paint to the canvas in one layer rather than several, without long waiting, and are full of monsters, unobvious interpretations and deep meanings. For some people, they are a delight. To some, disgust.
"Carrying the Cross" is one of his paintings on religious themes. It has only one plan, approximated as much as possible. It creates the impression of a static cinematic frame from a creepy animated film about the ascent of Christ to Calvary. Only the faces are distinguishable in the picture, and those faces are uncommonly unpleasant.
The hypertrophied noses, the open mouths, the lack of teeth, the rage, the disgust, the condescension, the mockery-they cause repulsion and a desire to turn away as soon as possible. There is among them the repentant thief who wants to die, whose face seems already dead, gray, and the two other thieves, shouting furiously, hating the whole world. There are Pharisees and priests, and in all the disgusting bacchanalia only Christ with the cross on his shoulders and St. Veronica with the cloth seem normal.
Their faces are bright, their features full of serenity and peace, their eyes closed, shielding them from the abominable action going on around them.
The very moment - the ascent, the carrying of the cross - is a celebration of stupidity, meanness, hatred, envy, pride, self-love and covetousness, which Bosch’s painting understands just fine.

НЕСЕНИЕ КРЕСТА
Кровь капает в песок, и целый мир
В орбиту тех священных капель втянут.
Толпа сереет, рты – провалы дыр.
Людской, замысловатейший орнамент.
Легионеры ражие вокруг,
Кровь в капсулы в пыли оборотится.
Весь мир очищен кровью – дол и луг,
И города, и всякая водица.
Небесных сфер слоение легко,
Но тяжелы земные наши своды.
Кровь-жизнь, её святое молоко,
Кровь мира нового, свободы.

The picture has something of this: people, group, many, god, woman, man, church, portrait, cross, saint, leader, child, museum, baby, war, music.
Perhaps it’s a painting of a crowd of people with a large wooden cross in the center of the painting is a depiction of the crucififix.
