Christus en de Centurion
Giuseppe Passeri brings high drama to this biblical scene with his quick, energetic Baroque style. Christ stands calmly on the left, gesturing with a simple point, while the Roman Centurion kneels before him in a pose of desperate humility, arms wide open. Behind them, soldiers with halberds loom, adding a sense of tension to the moment of faith. This sketch feels like a behind-the-scenes look at the artist's mind, working out the emotional choreography—likely a study for a larger altarpiece. It illustrates the famous moment where the Centurion's faith is so strong that he believes Jesus can heal his servant without even visiting the house.
