Rouault, Georges, Christ on the Cross, 1936
Christ on the Cross is part of a project to rework the Miserere. Initially printed in black and white, Georges Rouault softened the dramatic austerity by adding bright colors. Like a Gothic stained-glass window flooded with light, Christ’s passion illuminates the exalted viewer.
