The article is focused on an analysis of The Way of the Cross (1984), a drypoint by Andrzej Bielawski, commissioned by the Congregation of the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of Buraków, near Warsaw. The author argues that the artist, using the traditional sequence of scenes established in the iconography of the Passion, succeeded in producing modern (for the 1980’s) and simultaneously timeless a vision of the Passion of Christ, free from exaggerated symbolism and obvious metaphors. Furthermore, while working on the cycle of the Passion of the Lord, Bielawski made interesting and creative references to old art, in particular to the ways in which medieval artists portrayed the sufferings of the Savior.
