The Passion as it is traditionally known (from the Latin for sufferings) is the story of the last events of Christ's earthly life. Almost all versions in art begin with his triumphant entry into Jerusalem a few days before Passover where he is hailed as the messiah by the people and conclude with his Crucifixion.

61. For over 400 years, from the time of Giotto to Rembrandt, Western painting is inconceivable without the
vision and the stories contained in the Bible, especially in the Gospels.
The Passion is given its first genuinely comprehensive treatments in painting in Giotto's frescoes for the
Arena Chapel in Padua, and in Duccio di Buoninsegna's monumental Maestà. Both artists illustrate the
significant moments of the story, as drawn from the four Gospels and from the stories that grew up
around these scriptural writings.
The Passion as it is traditionally known (from the Latin for sufferings) is the story of the last events of
Christ's earthly life.
Almost all versions begin with his triumphant entry into Jerusalem a few days before Passover where he
is hailed as the messiah by the people and conclude with his Crucifixion..

62. Depuis plus de 400 ans, de Giotto à Rembrandt, la peinture occidentale est inconcevable sans la vision et
les récits contenus dans la Bible, en particulier dans les évangiles.
La Passion reçoit ses premiers traitements en peinture dans les fresques de Giotto pour la chapelle de
l'Arena à Padoue et dans la monumentale Maestà de Duccio di Buoninsegna.
Les deux artistes illustrent les moments significatifs de l'histoire, tirés des quatre évangiles et des
histoires qui se sont développées autour de ces écrits de l'Écriture.
La passion telle qu’elle est traditionnellement connue est l’histoire des derniers événements de la vie
terrestre du Christ.
Presque toutes les versions commencent par leur entrée triomphale à Jérusalem quelques jours avant
Pâques, où le peuple le acclamait comme le Messie et conclut avec sa crucifixion.
