"Yellow Christ" №24006
Art. number: 24006
Description
The "Yellow Christ" was created in 1889 in Ponto-Aven. It is considered to be one of the key works of symbolism in painting. It was then that Gauguin learned that his latest paintings in Paris were not very successful.
This has upset Gauguin very much. He expressed his experiences in several paintings with themes from Christ's sufferings. On all of these paintings, Christ is very much like Gauguin himself, and their background is Breton landscapes.
The painted mood of the artist in the painting "The Yellow Christ" was conveyed with the help of an autumn landscape. On the sails with this plot are traditionally depicted the three Mary, complaining of Christ. Here their role is performed by Breton women in national costumes.
In Gauguin's picture "The Yellow Christ" there is a system of symbols. The crucifixion resembles a very colored figure of Christ of the 17th century, made of wood. This figure is located in Tremalo Chapel in Ponta Aven, where it was most likely seen by Gauguin.
The face of Christ is actually a self-portrait of Gauguin, as we can see in other paintings the artist painted this year. The women crying for Christ are very similar to those the artist has depicted on the picture "Vision after the sermon".
A sketch of the "Yellow Christ" with a pencil is preserved in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, and the watercolor is in the collection of the Institute of Art in Chicago, a gift by Elizabeth F. Chapman.
Reproduction "Yellow Christ" is a high quality print that has been wrapped on a solid back to a size of 30x40, above which the canvas is stretched on a subframe. Arranged with an appropriate frame, reproduction can be the perfect gift for a close person or complement to your home.
