Abstract


The author establishes the hypothesis, based on verifiable historical events, that Velazquez's Christ on the Cros was commissioned between the summer and autumn of 1632 by Jerónimo de Villanueva, when the inquisitorial proceedings in which he had been implicated were discontinued. This commision was not, however, imposed as penitence by the Holy Office; it was one among many expiatory acts organized in Madrid occasioned by the desecration of a Crucifix by Portuguese Jews, condemned to die in a public Auto-da-fe in July of that year.
