1864 -1891 · Judgment, tomb and modern gaze
The Passion occupies a major place in Antonio Ciseri's maturity. Trained in great history painting, he mastered its architecture, but often chose a point of view that placed the viewer on the edge of the action. In Ecce Homo, completed the year of his death, the scene is seen from inside the palace: Pilate, Christ and the soldiers partly turn their backs on the viewer while the crowd fills the square beyond the balustrade. This bold framing avoids the frontal icon and transforms the judgment into a political event. The Bozzetto for Ecce Homo reveals the establishment of this geometry before the monumental finish. In The Entombment, intended for the sanctuary of the Madonna del Sasso, the weight of Christ determines every effort; the bearers, the shroud and the slope compose a concrete mechanism of pain. Christ taken to the tomb develops the same procession in another form, while The Virgin of Pain isolates the effect of the drama on the maternal face. Ciseri suppresses neither beauty nor ideal, but subjects them to the observation of bodies. His approach brings sacred painting closer to photographic staging and explains the lasting power of these works.

In Ciseri's Passion, the sacred passes through gravity: a body to carry, a crowd to contain and a look that cannot avoid judgment.
