EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sixth Station of the Cross: The House of the Wicked Rich Man (circa 1890) is a poignant and evocative image that captures the depth of emotion and spiritual intensity found in the Stations of the Cross. This print, produced circa 1890, depicts the sixth station, which represents the encounter of Jesus with Veronica, the woman who wiped the sweat and dirt from his face as he bore his cross through Jerusalem. However, the focus of this particular image is not on Veronica, but rather on the house of the "wicked rich man" in the background. The ornate and imposing house, with its grand facade and lush gardens, stands in stark contrast to the suffering and humility of Jesus and his followers. The rich man's indifference to the plight of the suffering Savior is palpable, as he goes about his daily business, oblivious to the events unfolding just outside his walls. The artist masterfully conveys the sense of moral contrast and spiritual turmoil through the use of light and shadow, with the dark, ominous clouds looming over the house, and the warm, golden light illuminating the scene of the crucifixion. The image is a powerful reminder of the importance of compassion and empathy, and the dangers of wealth and material possessions. It also serves as a visual representation of the spiritual journey that Christians undertake during the Lenten season, as they reflect on the passion and death of Jesus Christ. The House of the Wicked Rich Man (circa 1890) is a beautiful and thought-provoking work of art that continues to resonate with viewers more than a century after it was created.
