Christ looks to us as he carries the Cross, helped by Simon of Cyrene and escorted by five foot soldiers. The Virgin Mary is supported by the Three Marys and accompanied by Saint John the Evangelist, who wrings his hands in grief. The three distinct groups of the procession are linked together by a rhythm of repeated colour and by the figures who look back over their shoulders at the groups behind.
Several of the figures show the influence of other artists, including Leonardo, Filippino Lippi and Justus of Ghent, demonstrating how Raphael was assimilating different approaches and ideas into his own developing style during this early period of his career.
