The Beggar on the Cross

Hradčanské náměstí

Historically
obraz Ukřižovaného v kapli na Hradčanském náměstí

Of the picture of the Crucified in that chapel it is told that the painter painted it from the likeness of a beggar whom he hired for money and actually hung upon a cross in his workshop. But when the beggar then died under his hands, the painter fled in terror out into the world. A similar tale is told of the crucifix at the Knights of the Cross.
