Emperor Heraclius Denied Entry into Jerusalem, Netherlandish, c. 1460–1480. A late‑medieval panel painting depicting the Byzantine emperor Heraclius returning the True Cross to Jerusalem after recovering it from the Persians. As he approaches the city in triumph, an angel blocks his entry, reminding him that his display of grandeur contrasts with Christ’s humble procession. Only after dismounting in humility—an episode once part of the larger narrative—was he allowed to enter. The work likely belonged to an altarpiece dedicated to the Holy Cross, a highly venerated relic in the Middle Ages.
