Christ

A large figure of Christ stands in the foreground, holding a globus cruciger and raising his hand in a gesture of blessing. To his left, laborers use hammers to nail his body to a wooden cross amidst a crowd of Roman soldiers and onlookers. The scene is set against a detailed landscape featuring a fortified city and a large dome, representing Jerusalem.

This work juxtaposes the suffering of the Passion with the eternal sovereignty of the Salvator Mundi, reflecting the theological dualism of Christ's nature. The Latin inscription's reference to the 'poison of the Dragon' (virus mortale Draconis) links the crucifixion to the triumph over primordial chaos, a theme often explored in Renaissance allegories of order versus dissolution.
