Agony in the Garden
Scourging at the Pillar
Crowning with thorns
Jesus takes the cross*
The Crucifixion
* I especially love the Martin Feurstein's painting of Jesus taking the cross. It's stylized of course, but just look at His glowing face. He's reaching out to embrace the cross as if it were a beautiful thing instead of an object of horror. The priests, pharisees, and the Romans thought they were in charge but they knew nothing. Our Lord laid down His life for love of sinners and three days later He took it up again. He was in charge and this painting does a good job showing it.
