The Disrobing of Christ (Espolio)

The artwork The Disrobing of Christ (Espolio) is a painting, created in 1610. It is currently held at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The painting depicts the moment when Christ is stripped of his garments before his crucifixion. The scene is crowded with figures, with Christ standing in the center, his hands crossed over his chest. He is surrounded by soldiers, some of whom are pulling at his clothes, while others look on with indifference or hostility. The use of light and shadow creates a sense of drama and tension, and the overall effect of the painting is one of both physical and emotional violence.
