EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Paul Gauguin's iconic masterpiece, "The Green Christ". Measuring 92 cm x 73 cm, this Post-Impressionist artwork is housed in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium. Created in 1889, Gauguin's Breton Calvary painting depicts a scene from Brittany, France. In this image captured by Leonard de Selva, we see the intricate details and vibrant colors that make Gauguin's work so mesmerizing. The focal point is undoubtedly the green figure of Jesus Christ on the cross, which stands out against the traditional landscape. The carving and paintwork bring depth and texture to this religious symbol. Gauguin's exploration of religion and spirituality is evident in "The Green Christ" as he combines elements of Christianity with his own artistic interpretation. This fusion creates a thought-provoking piece that invites viewers to contemplate faith and its place within society. The presence of a young girl adds an innocent touch to the composition while emphasizing the timeless nature of biblical stories. The woman carved into the rock face further connects us to ancient traditions and folklore associated with Brittany's coastline. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back to late 19th-century France when Gauguin challenged artistic conventions through his unique style. Through Leonard de Selva's lens, we can appreciate not only Gauguin's skill but also his ability to evoke emotion through color and form.
