Descriptions Commentary Crite has been a major chronicler of Boston life and architecture and is known especially for his genre scenes of his native Roxbury and South End Boston. During the 1930s and 1940s, Crite turned increasingly to religious subjects; this lithograph is an example of his interest in religious themes. Typical of Crite's religious works is his unusual combination of Afro-American figures with traditional iconography. This lithograph shows Christ making his way through a 'via Dolorosa' that cuts through one of Boston's minority neighborhoods.
