The eight statues are by Martino Retti
(1608), who wanted to create figures that "would reproduce as much as possible the naturalness". In the centre is the suffering Christ, over whom the henchmen are drawing grotesque faces. In the background are three large fresco scenes by Pier Francesco Mazzucchelli, alias Morazzone (1609):
Christ before Caiaphas; Christ and Barabbas shown to the people; the naked Christ being drawn to be scourged.
