Station of the Cross No. 6 - 'Veronica Renders Service to Jesus', c. 1936 - A Powerful Depiction of Compassion and Devotion
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this artwork by Geoffrey Holt, we are transported back to the 1930s in America, where a profound moment from Christian history is beautifully captured. The scene portrays Veronica, a female figure kneeling before Christ during his journey to crucifixion. Holt's meticulous use of watercolor colored pencil and graphite on paper brings life and emotion to the image. The vibrant blues and reds evoke a sense of passion and intensity, while also symbolizing religious significance. The composition centers around Veronica's selfless act of compassion as she tenderly wipes Jesus' face with a cloth, an iconic gesture known as "Veronica's Veil". Her posture exudes humility and reverence for her Savior amidst his suffering. Surrounded by a group of men observing this sacred interaction, Holt emphasizes the power of community support in times of hardship. Through their presence, he reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there are those who will step forward to offer assistance and solace. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.

Geoffrey Holt's rendition invites viewers into contemplation about their own capacity for empathy towards others' pain—a timeless message that
