Le Calvaire depicts the scene of Crucifixion with representations of Saint Dismas (or Dysmas), also known as the good thief, and Gesmas or Gestas, the bad thief - two thieves crucified alongside Jesus Christ. "The Christ holding his Cross" painting from 1490 portrays the solemn journey towards Calvary that symbolizes both suffering and hope. An oil on canvas artwork titled "Christ on the Cross" created between 1600-10 captures the profound emotions evoked by this powerful religious symbol.

Golgotha witnessed one more painful moment when "Christ Being Nailed To The Cross. " This depiction reminds us not only of physical torment but also spiritual redemption offered through His sacrifice at Calvary.
