"Simon de Cyrene Portant la Croix du Christ" (Simon of Cyrene Carrying the Cross of Christ) is a notable work by the Spanish painter Francisco Ribalta, a prominent artist of the Spanish Baroque period. This painting, which dates from the early 17th century, vividly depicts the biblical episode where Simon of Cyrene is compelled by the Roman soldiers to carry the cross for Jesus Christ on the way to his crucifixion at Golgotha, as described in the Synoptic Gospels.

Ribalta's rendition of this poignant moment is characterized by his use of dramatic chiaroscuro and intense emotional expression, hallmarks of the tenebrist style that he, alongside other Spanish contemporaries, helped to develop in Spain following the influence of Caravaggio. The painting captures the physical strain and moral gravity of the scene, with Simon portrayed in a moment of reluctant compassion, his face marked by empathy and the burden of the cross.

The work is significant in Ribalta's oeuvre as it exemplifies his skill in conveying human emotion and his mastery of light and shadow to enhance the narrative impact of his religious subjects. "Simon de Cyrene Portant la Croix du Christ" is not only a testament to Ribalta's artistic prowess but also reflects the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on engaging the faithful through evocative and accessible imagery.

While the exact location and provenance of the painting may not be well-documented, it remains an important piece for the study of Spanish Baroque art and the cultural context in which Ribalta worked. The painting is an exemplar of the period's religious art, demonstrating the way in which artists of the era sought to bring biblical stories to life with emotional resonance and visual drama.
