Man of Sorrows is a small Early Netherlandish oil on wood panel painting completed c. 1485–1495. It is attributed to Geertgen tot Sint Jans and in the tradition of the devotional images of the "Man of Sorrows", which typically show Christ before his crucifixion, naked above the waist, bearing the wounds of his Passion. The panel has an unusually complex and suffocating spatial design, and depicts the mocking of Jesus, and his grieving mother. The panel is steeped in both complex iconography and deep pathos. Christ is in obvious pain and holds his wounds up for the viewer. He looks out while white robed weeping angels bear the Arma Christi -objects associated with his crucifixion and death- float around him. The attending saints include Mary and the Magdalene.

  • Man of Sorrows is a small Early Netherlandish oil on wood panel painting completed c. 1485–1495. It is attributed to Geertgen tot Sint Jans and in the tradition of the devotional images of the "Man of Sorrows", which typically show Christ before his crucifixion, naked above the waist, bearing the wounds of his Passion. The panel has an unusually complex and suffocating spatial design, and depicts the mocking of Jesus, and his grieving mother. The panel is steeped in both complex iconography and deep pathos. Christ is in obvious pain and holds his wounds up for the viewer. He looks out while white robed weeping angels bear the Arma Christi -objects associated with his crucifixion and death- float around him. The attending saints include Mary and the Magdalene. Man of Sorrows has been described as "one of the most moving ... in Early Netherlandish art", and is usually considered a highly emotive and sorrowful work, especially in its description of Christ's pitiful, almost defeated expression and blood-run face. Nothing is known about the lost right hand panel; it may have contained another religious scene or a donor portrait. It is housed in the Museum Catharijneconvent, Utrecht. (en)
  • L'Homme de douleurs est une peinture à l'huile sur panneau de bois primitive flamande, datant de v. 1485-1495 et attribuée au peintre néerlandais Geertgen tot Sint Jans. Elle fait partie de la tradition iconographique de l'Homme de douleurs : une représentation du Christ, après sa Crucifixion, nu au-dessus de la taille, debout dans son tombau, portant les blessures de sa Passion. Le tableau, à la mise en scène inhabituellement complexe, représente l'humiliation de Jésus et le deuil de sa mère. L'œuvre est à la fois iconographiquement complexe et profondément pathétique. Le Christ souffre manifestement et regarde le spectateur tandis que des anges pleurants portent les Arma Christi (les instruments ayant servi à sa Passion). Les saints présents comprennent Marie et Madeleine. L'Homme de douleurs a été décrit comme « l'un des plus émouvants exemples de primitif flamand », et est généralement considéré comme une œuvre très émouvante et douloureuse, en particulier dans sa description de l'expression pitoyable, presque vaincue et du visage sanglant du Christ. On ne sait rien du panneau de droite perdu ; il peut avoir porté une autre scène religieuse ou un portrait de donateur. L'œuvre est exposée au Musée du couvent Sainte-Catherine, à Utrecht. (fr)
  • Christus als (de) Man van Smarten is een schilderij dat veelal wordt toegeschreven aan de schilder Geertgen tot Sint Jans. Hierover bestaat onder wetenschappers echter geen consensus. Het bevindt zich in de collectie van Museum Catharijneconvent in Utrecht. Het schilderij was waarschijnlijk onderdeel van een tweeluik. Het andere paneel is waarschijnlijk verloren gegaan. Het werk verbeeldt de lijdensweg van Christus. Links van hem zit de biddende Maria Magdalena, aan de voet van het kruis de treurende Maria, zijn moeder en Johannes de evangelist. De engelen dragen passiewerktuigen. Christus draagt zijn kruis en staat op uit het graf. De figuren zijn dicht op elkaar geplaatst en niet in het geheel afgebeeld. Dit geeft het werk een intieme compositie. Door het gebruik van goudkleuren, krijgt het geheel een warme uitstraling. (nl)

  • L'Uomo di dolori è un dipinto del pittore olandese Geertgen tot Sint Jans, realizzato circa nel 1495 e conservato al Museo Catharijneconvent di Utrecht nei Paesi Bassi. È attribuito a Geertgen tot Sint Jans e alla tradizione delle immagini devozionali del cosiddetto Uomo dei dolori o anche Uomo delle sofferenze, che di norma mostrano Cristo prima della Crocifissione, nudo sopra la vita, recante le ferite della Passione. Il pannello ha un disegno spaziale insolitamente complesso e soffocante e raffigura il volto di Gesù e della sua addolorata madre. Il pannello è arricchito da un'iconografia complessa e da una profonda drammaticità. Cristo è in uno stato di evidente dolore e sofferenza, mentre sembra quasi nell'atto di mostrare le sue ferite per lo spettatore. All'esterno degli angeli piangenti con la veste bianca portano gli Arma Christi – gli oggetti associati con la sua Crocifissione e morte – sono come sospesi nell'aria intorno a Lui. I Santi presenti includono Maria e la Maddalena. L'Uomo dei dolori è stato descritto come «uno dei più commoventi esempi ... nella prima arte olandese», ed è generalmente considerato un lavoro ad alto contenuto emotivo, soprattutto nella descrizione della pietosa, quasi sconfitta, espressione di Cristo nel suo volto rigato dal sangue. Nulla si sa del pannello destro andato perduto; potrebbe aver contenuto un'altra scena religiosa o un ritratto del donatore. (it)
