Compassion, veil and path to Calvary · Saint Veronica
Memling, El Greco, Joos van Cleve and Valdés Leal represent Veronica holding the veil marked by the face of Christ or meeting Jesus on the way to Calvary.
Saint Veronica is the compassionate woman who, according to a tradition developed in the Middle Ages, wipes Christ's face during the climb to Calvary. The face of Jesus remains miraculously printed on the linen, called veil, shroud or sudarium. Unlike the Sainte Face collection, centered on the image of Christ itself, this collection favors Véronique as an actress in the story: she holds the linen, presents it to the viewer or advances towards Jesus carrying the Cross. Hans Memling places it in front of a landscape in a calm and precise image, where the veil becomes both relic and portrait. Hans Memling places it in front of a landscape in a calm and precise image, where the veil becomes both relic and portrait. Joos van Cleve enriches the presentation with the details of the garment and fabric. El Greco accentuates the verticality and spiritual intensity of the figure. Valdés Leal places Véronique in the violence of the path to Calvary, opposing her gesture of compassion to the movement of the crowd. White veil, frontal face of Christ and turban or hairstyle of the saint form an immediately recognizable iconography. The "Sainte Véronique" selection notably compares Saint Véronique - Hans Memling and Saint Véronique holding her veil - El Greco. Its reading favors color.
Véronique has neither weapon nor book: her attribute is born from a gesture of compassion accomplished in the midst of the violence of Calvary.
