I suppose you are referring to the version of the subject painted by Jusepe de Ribera, a Spanish painter working in the 17th century. This painting was created in 1639 in the Baroque style (or movement). It depicts the moment when the apostle Philip is about to be crucified. The contrast of light and shadow, the monumental figures, and the dramatic topic are all characteristics of the Baroque style. The painting was commissioned as a gift to the then King of Spain, Philip IV, whose patron saint was Philip the Apostle.
The Pharisees' legalistic approach led them to creating an ever-more complex system of rules, and their extra-dutiful observance of law focused on external obedience to rules more than internal attitudes of the heart.
Jewish rabbinical tradition counted 613 commands stipulated in the Law given to Israel by Moses. For the Pharisees (meaning "those who are set apart"), that wasn't enough. They sought to set themselves apart from the common man by the way they applied the Law to every detail of their lives, making their own specific rules for specific situations. So as new situations arose, new religious rules were imposed. The Pharisees' body of law was something like the US tax code in that way! They gave particular focus to all the ways that one should obey the rule of resting on the Sabbath.
In the process, the Pharisees also paid primary attention to outward adherence to rules. The spirit of the Law as originally given was aimed at conforming persons' hearts to the ways of God. But following the laws of the Pharisees became more focused on maintaining outward consistency with the rituals and regulations they had established. In regard to the Sabbath, the original intent was so that people would stop other activities in order to give full attention to God and his Word. For the Pharisees, the focus of the Sabbath became more about regulating how much activity was considered allowable or not in different situations.

Hey there! I'm happy to help!
The part that particularly angered Northerners was that if they did not enforce the act, they were subject to jail time or a fine. Even if Northerners opposed slavery, they could still be neutral in terms of what they do to help slaves or not. The Fugitive Slave Act forced them to go against their own beliefs with this potential jail time or fine, which really angered them.
Have a wonderful day! :D
