Calvary, the site of the Crucifixion, was located just outside the walls of Jerusalem. The artist notes that in the enclosure visible in the middle distance\u2014flat ground in an otherwise rocky terrain\u2014 three post holes held the crosses for Jesus and the thieves who were condemned to die alongside him.Invoking the writings of Saint Ambrose, Tissot says that Christ was crucified at the spot called Golgotha, or the place of the skull. According to tradition, Adam, the first man, was buried on this very site: an appropriate connection, for Jesus, as the \u201cSecond Adam,\u201d undoes the Fall of Man recounted in the book of Genesis and redeems humanity from its sins.
