Christ at the Column is a life-size sculpture by the Spanish artist Gregorio Fernández.
Gregorio Fernández was commissioned by the Illustrious Penitential Brotherhood of the Holy Cross, to undertake a “paso”, a group of wooden statues, depicting the flagellation of Christ. The sculpture of the Christ started as a figure for this composition and was in the mid 17th century when the sculpture was presented as a separate and independent work.The sculpture is characterized by combining classical form and naturalism with the intensity of religious emotion.
Fernández and his workshop executed a number of versions of this subject.
