"You can trust the wrong people, never change"
500 years ago or less Hieronymus Bosch painting Christ carrying the cross to Calvary. Remember "So they took Jesus, and carrying his own cross came to the place called Calvary, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha \u200b\u200bwhere they crucified Him. " And for this occasion decided to represent the sin itself, the corruption of man and let go off the right path, and analogy of humanity itself. And it deprives man, and takes away the veil that covers it, to show their true condition, a swarm of faces, faces, exaggerated, full of crazy rage, anger and evil in the end, around the face Christ carry the cross with his eyes closed. This is the result of the acts of man, and what can be converted away from the track. Looking at the faces we see color ranging from gray to green and one stands clear serene, wearing a cloth with the face of Christ, Veronica, who represents the compassion and is the counterpoint to all the other figures.
Special mention to what is the greatness of this painting, which is the perspective used, or the lack thereof, and in this conglomerate of faces and gestures are just that: head and expression, causing the spectator to total immersion in the table, and the question we asked is how will my face now?
There are men who fight one day
and are good.
There are others who fight one year
and are better.
Some people fight for many years
and are very good.
But there are those who struggle all their lives:
these are indispensable.
Bertolt Brecht
